Suffolk Park (NSW North Coast, Australia) is a popular beachbreak surf spot just south of Byron Bay. It’s known for being a fairly accessible, fun wave on the north coast, with a more relaxed feel than Byron’s main breaks.

Wave type

Primarily a beachbreak
Can offer peaky, punchy waves with decent shape when conditions line up
Sandbanks can shift, so the break can change quite a bit

Best conditions

Often works best with swell from the east to northeast
Typically prefers a westerly to southwesterly wind for cleaner surf
Can handle a range of tide levels, but quality depends on sandbank setup

Surf level

Generally suitable for beginners to intermediate surfers on smaller days
Can get more powerful and challenging when the swell picks up

Hazards / things to know

Shifting sandbars and rip currents can make conditions change quickly
Can become busy, especially when other north coast spots are small or messy
Being a beachbreak, it may have less predictability than point breaks nearby

Vibe

Laid-back local beach atmosphere
Good option if you want a less crowded alternative to some Byron Bay breaks
