Saltwater Point, NSW Mid North Coast, Australia

Saltwater Point is a scenic coastal surf spot on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, known for its relaxed, uncrowded feel and natural surroundings. It sits near Saltwater National Park, so the setting is more remote and bush-fringed than many town beaches, with a mix of headlands, reef, and sandy sections shaping the waves.

What it’s like

Atmosphere: Quiet, local, and often uncrowded
Wave type: Can offer beachbreak and reef/point-style sections depending on the swell and sand
Best conditions: Typically works best with a good groundswell and light winds
Crowd level: Usually low compared with more famous nearby breaks

Surf quality

Saltwater Point can produce fun, clean waves when the swell lines up, but it’s not always consistent. The spot can be highly tide- and swell-dependent, with conditions changing a lot based on sand movement and the direction of the swell.

Good for

Intermediate to advanced surfers
Surfers looking for a quieter session away from crowded beaches
People who enjoy scenic, natural surf locations

Things to watch

Can be inconsistent
Rocks/reef may be exposed in some conditions
Access may involve walking or navigating parkland
Conditions can change quickly with tide and swell direction
