Peggies is a surf spot on the Coal Coast of New South Wales, Australia, known as a powerful beachbreak/point-type setup depending on the sand and swell conditions. It’s one of those spots that can get fun and hollow when the banks line up, but it’s also highly condition-dependent.

Quick description

Location: Coal Coast, NSW, Australia
Type: Mostly a beachbreak with shifting sandbanks
Best with: Swell in the southeast to east and light offshore winds
Wave character: Can be fast, punchy, and hollow on the right banks
Crowd level: Often popular with locals when it’s working
Hazards: Can have strong rips, dumping sections, and shallow banks

What it’s like

When Peggies is on, it can produce clean, rippable walls and occasional barrels on the better banks. Because it’s sand-dependent, the quality can vary a lot from day to day and season to season. Small changes in swell direction or tide can make a big difference.

Best conditions

Swell: ESE to E
Wind: W to NW offshore
Tide: Often best on a mid tide, but this can change with the banks
Size: Works best on medium to solid swell; too small and it can be weak, too big and it can get unruly

Overall vibe

Peggies is the kind of spot that rewards patience and local knowledge. On the right day it can be a quality, heavy, mid-to-high performance wave. On the wrong day it can be messy and closed out.
