Aragunnu Beach (Bermagui)

Aragunnu Beach is an exposed, natural beach break on the Sapphire Coast area, known for offering consistent surf over the year. The spot works best when the swell comes in from the southeast and when wind is aligned for offshore conditions (north through north-west). Summer can be mostly flat, so autumn is generally the most reliable time to find clean, rideable waves. Wave shape is commonly described as peeling (with some reports noting mixed character), and the break can provide both left and right-handers. Wave power is typically moderate, but very large swells may become heavy and more prone to closing out, so conditions can change quickly as sandbar shape and swell size evolve. Hazards are a key consideration here: the beach environment includes rocks at/near the ends of the launch area and sea urchins in the coastal zone, along with sharks. Rip currents can also be present—especially near the rock areas—so entrants should be cautious and avoid being funneled toward hazards. The beach is within Mimosa Rocks National Park and is described as relatively remote and rarely crowded. Plan for self-sufficiency: there are no on-site shop facilities, mobile reception can be spotty in the park, and the nearest medical services are in Bega. Follow park regulations and bring appropriate gear for the conditions.
