Minamurra – Mystics (NSW South Coast, Australia) is a well-known surf break near Minnamurra River on the Kiama/Illawarra coast of New South Wales. It’s a reef/point-style wave that can produce fast, hollow, high-quality right-handers when the swell and winds line up.

Quick description

Wave type: Reef/point break
Direction: Mostly right-handers
Best swell: E to SE swell
Best wind: W to NW offshore
Skill level: Intermediate to advanced; can be challenging when bigger
Crowds: Can get busy because it’s a quality wave

What it’s like

Mystics is known for being a consistent, powerful wave that can offer long, clean rides on the right day. It tends to work best with a solid east or southeast swell and a clean offshore breeze. On smaller days it can be more manageable, but when it’s pumping it can become shifty, shallow, and heavy.

Hazards

Shallow reef
Powerful wash through
Strong rips and currents
Best surfed with local knowledge

Nearby notes

It’s one of the better-known breaks in the South Coast/New South Wales surf scene, close to other quality waves around Kiama, Wollongong, and the surrounding coastline.
