The farm

The Farm (NSW South Coast, Australia) is a well-known, high-quality surf point on the south coast of New South Wales, near Ulladulla/Nowra region. It’s a right-hand point break famous for long, fast, playful walls that can offer excellent rides when the swell lines up.

What it’s like

• Wave type: Predominantly a right point with strong shape and flow
• Best conditions: Solid east to southeast swell, offshore westerly winds
• Wave quality: Can be very clean and powerful, often with long sections and room for maneuvers
• Crowds: Popular with experienced surfers, especially when it’s good
• Skill level: Intermediate to advanced, depending on size and conditions

Spot character

The Farm is known for producing fast, rippable waves with a mix of open faces and critical sections. On the right swell, it can hold size well and deliver memorable rides. Because it’s exposed and can get powerful, timing and position are important.

Hazards

• Can be crowded
• Powerful surf and strong currents
• Sharp reef/rock sections in places
• Exposure to swell and changing conditions

Best for

• Surfers who like clean point breaks
• Those comfortable with faster, punchier waves
• Longboarders on smaller days, though it’s generally more of a shortboard wave when active
