Fishery Bay

Fishery Bay is a scenic, relatively secluded surf spot on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, south of Port Lincoln. It’s known for its clean waves, exposed beach-break setup, and rugged coastal scenery—with cliffs, dunes, and a wild open-ocean feel.

Surf characteristics

• Type: Predominantly beach break
• Wave quality: Can be fun and punchy when conditions line up
• Best swell: Typically responds well to southerly to southwesterly swells
• Wind: Usually prefers offshore northerly winds for cleaner faces
• Skill level: Often better for intermediate to advanced surfers, as conditions can get powerful and changeable

What it’s like

Fishery Bay is less crowded than many urban surf breaks, so it has a more remote, natural, and relaxed atmosphere. The setting is one of its big draws—expect beautiful ocean views, rocky headlands, and plenty of exposed coastline.

Things to keep in mind

• Conditions can shift quickly due to its exposure.
• There may be strong currents and shorebreak at times.
• As with many South Australian spots, it’s worth checking swell, wind, and local conditions before heading out.
