Camel Rock is a well-known surf break in Far South Coast, New South Wales, Australia, near Bermagui. It’s named after the distinctive camel-shaped headland that sits right beside the beach, making it one of the most recognizable coastal landmarks in the area.

Surf characteristics

Wave type: Exposed beach-and-point style break with shifting sandbanks
Best swell: Handles southeast to south swells well
Wind: Generally best in westerly to northwesterly offshore winds
Wave quality: Can be fun and powerful, with good shape when banks line up
Skill level: Best suited to intermediate to advanced surfers, though conditions can vary enough for less experienced surfers on smaller days

Conditions and hazards

Can be crowded when conditions are good
Shifting sandbanks mean the break can change a lot over time
Exposed to weather and swell, so it can get strong and uneven on larger surf
Like many NSW south coast spots, it can have rips and strong currents

Vibe and setting

Camel Rock sits in a scenic coastal reserve with great views and a more natural feel than many urban surf beaches. It’s popular not just for surfing but also for photography, fishing, and coastal walks. The surrounding area is part of the broader Mimosa Rocks/Camel Rock coastal environment, known for its rugged beauty and marine life.
