Casuarina Beach in Northern NSW is a long, open stretch of surf beach in the Tweed Coast area, between Kingscliff and Cabarita. It’s known for its clean beachbreak setup, easy access, and often quieter vibe compared with the more famous nearby surf spots.

Surf characteristics - Break type: Mostly beachbreak, with shifting sandbanks - Best conditions: Generally prefers a southerly to southeasterly swell and offshore westerly winds - Wave quality: Can offer fun, rippable peaks when the banks are working, but quality varies a lot with sand movement - Skill level: Suitable for beginners to intermediate surfers, though stronger swells can make it punchier and more challenging

Beach and setting - Long, wide sandy beach with a laid-back coastal feel - Less crowded than many better-known NSW North Coast surf breaks - Open to ocean swell, so conditions can change quickly with tides, winds, and sand shifts

Hazards and notes - Rips can be strong, especially after larger swells - Beachbreak peaks can close out on bigger days - Best to check local conditions before paddling out, since banks can move from week to week
