Murrays (NSW, Banana Coast, Australia) is a lesser-known surf spot on the Mid North Coast area of New South Wales, offering a more relaxed, local feel than many of the state’s better-known breaks.

General vibe

Typically quiet and uncrowded compared with nearby more famous surf destinations.
Known for a laid-back coastal setting with a mix of beach and headland influence, depending on the exact swell and sand conditions.
Best for surfers who enjoy exploring regional spots and don’t mind a bit of variability.

Wave type

Usually a beachbreak or beachbreak with nearby reef/point influence depending on the exact section referred to as “Murrays.”
Can offer fun, quick walls on the right swell.
Shape is often highly sand-dependent, so the break can change season to season.

Conditions

Works best with:
E to SE swell for exposure on the NSW coast
W to SW winds for cleaner conditions
Tides can make a big difference, with some sections preferring mid tide.

Skill level

Generally more suitable for intermediate surfers, though smaller days may be manageable for beginners.
On bigger or more powerful swells, it can become punchier and more challenging.

Hazards / things to watch

Changing banks and shifting currents
Possible rips after bigger swells
Local knowledge helps a lot, since conditions can vary quickly

Best time to surf

Autumn and winter often deliver more consistent swells in NSW.
Spring and summer can still be surfable, especially when swell windows align with light winds.
