North Narrabeen Point is a well-known surf spot on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in New South Wales, Australia. It sits near the northern end of North Narrabeen Beach, around the headland and point area that helps shape the waves.

Surf profile

Type: Point/reef-influenced beachbreak
Wave quality: Can be very good when conditions line up, especially with the right swell direction and tide
Best swell: Generally works well on southerly to easterly swells
Best wind: Usually westerly or offshore winds for cleaner faces
Skill level: Can suit intermediate to advanced surfers, depending on size and crowd

What it’s like

North Narrabeen is part of a stretch of coast famous for producing powerful, high-quality waves. The point area can create organized, peeling waves compared with the more open beachbreak sections nearby. When it’s on, it can deliver longer rides and a solid face, but it can also get hollow and punchy.

Conditions and hazards

Can have strong rips and currents
Rockier areas near the point require caution
Can get crowded when conditions are good
Best to know the local setup before paddling out
