rights

Here’s a general description of Rights, in NSW Central Coast, Australia:

Rights is a reef/point-style surf break on the Central Coast known for producing long, clean right-handers when the swell and wind line up. It tends to work best on a solid southerly to south-easterly swell, with offshore westerly or north-westerly winds helping to groom the face. The wave can offer fast takeoffs, open-face sections, and the occasional barrel or carving wall, depending on the sand, reef, and swell angle.

What it’s like

• Wave type: Mostly a right-hand point/reef-style wave
• Best conditions: Medium to larger S/SE swell, light offshore winds
• Skill level: Usually more suited to intermediate to advanced surfers
• Character: Can be powerful, rippable, and fairly hollow on better days

Things to know

• It can be crowded when conditions are good.
• There may be strong currents or tricky entry/exit points depending on the tide and swell.
• As with many reef breaks, local knowledge is important for timing, takeoff position, and hazards.
