Whites

Whites is a surf spot in Northern New South Wales, Australia. It’s generally known as a beach break, so the waves tend to be more sandbank-dependent and can change shape with tides, swell direction, and shifting sand.

What it’s like

• Wave type: Beach break
• Conditions: Can offer fun, punchy peaks when the sand is working
• Best for: Intermediate surfers and up, though it can be accessible on smaller, softer days
• Crowds: Often shared with locals, and popularity varies depending on the day and conditions

Typical surf character

• Works best with good swell alignment and favorable wind
• Can produce lefts and rights from shifting peaks
• Quality can be inconsistent, like many sand-bottom breaks, but when it’s on it can be very enjoyable

Things to consider

• Rips and currents may be present, especially on bigger days
• Sandbanks can move after storms, so the break may change over time
• Check local conditions carefully before paddling out
