About Narrawallee Wedge

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces E (108°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (288°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 750 m out (1 in 73). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 17°C in August, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 23°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Mollymook Beach, 2.9 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 8 surf spots.

Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
