Crookhaven – Eddies is a small, sheltered surf spot on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia, near the Crookhaven River / Culburra Beach area. It’s known more for being a protected, mellow wave than a heavy-open-ocean break.

What it’s like

Wave type: Usually a soft, fast little right/left setup depending on sand and swell direction.
Best for: Beginners, longboarders, and casual surfers looking for easy, fun waves rather than powerful surf.
Size: Typically works best on small to moderate swells.
Shelter: The spot is relatively protected, so it can stay surfable when more exposed beaches are too rough.

Conditions

Tide: Often best on a mid tide; too much or too little tide can make it weak or shallow.
Wind: Likes light offshore or calm winds. Strong onshore winds can make it messy quickly.
Swell: Needs enough swell to wrap in, but too much can make it disorganized.

Bottom / setting

Usually a sand-bottomed wave, which means it can shift around with sand movement and seasons.
The area has a river-mouth / estuary feel, with water quality and sandbanks influenced by tides and local currents.

Vibe

Generally a low-key local spot rather than a major destination break.
Good for a relaxed session when you want smaller, friendlier waves.
