Crescent Heads Pilgrimage July 2020

Crescent Heads was picture perfect last week whilst the NSW South Coast was being pounded by gale force winds and a huge surf. Water temperature reportedly around the 20.c mark with the sun shining and most people in shirts and shorts. I took a number of pics from a distance to give those who have never been to this surfing mecca a broader view of how it looks. The waves present a easy slow run for a distance varying from 200 metres to 400 metres in length, with a variety of areas to catch your ideal wave.

Why travelled anywhere else for a perfect surf that is suitable for all skill levels?

Surf Breaks, Mollymook Ulladulla area

Jervis bay,Mollymook,Ulladulla,Waterfront,Bawley Point — South Coast Surfing Breaks

Surfing book “Surfing Australia”, speaks of the NSW South Coast as “A Surf Adventurer’s Dream”.

“For a length of coastline stretching from Jervis Bay to Bawley Point the number and quality of surfing break is incredible”.

They mention a few such as the famed “Aussie Pipe” near Jervis Bay, “Green Island” at Bendalong, “Golfie” reef at Mollymook and “Guilitines” at Bawley Point, and the hype they claim is justified.

Check out the Mollymook long boarders web page.

Wreck Bay is just south of Jervis Bay. This is home to the infamous “South Coast Pipe” an intense left tubes upwards of 8′ to 10′ off a southerly swell with NW-E winds. “Green Island” at Bendalong likes a southerly swell with winds from the NE-NW producing long left handers ranging from 6′ to 12′. At Mollymook you have a number of reef breaks that work well with a southerly swell, the best known is “Golfie” reef, however when conditions are right “Kamikaze” & “Crystals” are awesome in the big swells. Nearby is Collers reef break and “Drain-pipes”. 2 km south you have the Ulladulla “Bombie” and “Rennies Beach” reef break. Another couple of Km south is “Dolphin Point”, “Pot-holes”, “Point North-East”, “Wario” and at Bawley Point the famous “Guillotines” reef break. (Click on images to enlarge)

Once people begin to learn to surf, its not uncommon to become a little addicted. Just getting out there in the salt water feels so good in itself. Then the adrenalin begins to lock in as you mount that first wave, coming down the face is an incredible feeling, maneuvering to beat the white water break. Once you’ve mastered the basics it’s practise, practise, practise!!!

There are surf board riding clubs up and down the coast where you can join in and make some great friendships along the way.
