Newport “Deaddies” is a well-known Northern Beaches, Sydney surf spot in New South Wales, Australia, sitting around the Newport / Bilgola area. It’s a local reef/point-style wave that can be a lot of fun when the swell lines up, but it’s also a spot that really depends on the right conditions.
What it’s like
- Wave type: Fast, hollow, and often punchy
- Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers
- Bottom: Rock/reef influence, so care is needed
- Crowd: Can get busy when it’s on, especially with locals
- Consistency: Not always reliable, but worth it on the right swell
Best conditions
- Swell: Usually wants a solid E to SE swell
- Wind: Best with W to SW offshore winds
- Tide: Often prefers a mid tide, though this can vary
- Size: Can handle a fair bit of swell, but too much can make it heavy and less manageable
Vibe
Deaddies has a bit of a serious, localised feel compared with softer beachbreaks nearby. When it’s working, it can offer long, clean, rippable walls or quick barrels depending on the sand/reef setup and swell direction.
Hazards
- Shallow sections / reef
- Strong currents depending on surf size
- Can be unforgiving on bigger days
