Triangles is a Central NSW surf spot known for being a quality reef break that can light up when the right swell lines up. It’s typically a more exposed, punchier wave than the region’s beachbreaks, so it rewards surfers who can read the reef and handle a bit of power.

What to expect

Wave type: Reef/point-style setup depending on the angle and local conditions
Best on: A clean swell with offshore winds
Character: Fast, defined walls with decent shape when it’s working
Skill level: Best suited to intermediate to advanced surfers, especially in bigger or more technical conditions

Conditions

Triangles generally needs: - a solid groundswell to show its full shape - light offshore or cross-offshore winds - the right tide and swell direction for clean takeoff zones and open faces

Hazards

Reef/rocks under the wave
Can get powerful and shallow
Crowds can build when it’s on, since quality setups in Central NSW don’t stay secret for long

Overall vibe

When Triangles is firing, it’s the kind of spot that offers a fun, lined-up wave with more punch and structure than a typical beachie. On smaller days it can be ordinary or inconsistent, but on the right swell it’s worth the paddle.
