Boomerang Beach is a scenic beach break on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, near Pacific Palms and just south of Forster. It’s known for its beautiful crescent-shaped bay, clear water, and reliable surf that can light up with the right swell.

Surf character

Wave type: Mostly a beach break, with shifting banks and a mix of peaks.
Conditions: Works best with a clean easterly to southeast swell and lighter winds, especially from the west or southwest.
Wave quality: Can offer fun, punchy walls and occasional more powerful sections, but the sandbars change frequently, so consistency varies.
Best for: Intermediate surfers, though experienced surfers can find good peaks on the better days.
Crowds: Can get busy, especially in holidays and on good swell days, but the size of the beach helps spread people out.

Beach and setting

Boomerang Beach is one of the more picturesque surf locations in the area, framed by headlands and backed by a laid-back coastal community. The beach has a relaxed, holiday feel and is popular with both surfers and beachgoers.

Hazards and notes

Rips: Like many NSW beach breaks, there can be strong rips and currents.
Banks: Sandbanks shift often, so the best takeoff zones move around.
Bathers: Be mindful of swimmers, especially between the flags during patrol hours.

Nearby surf options

If Boomerang isn’t working, nearby spots in the Pacific Palms area and up toward Forster often provide alternatives depending on swell and wind direction.
