Mills Point

Mills Point is an exposed reef break near South Durras that only works occasionally and does not follow a reliable seasonal pattern. Descriptions emphasize that it’s a low-profile spot where the surf may be absent much of the time, and sessions are typically only when specific swell and wind conditions line up. When it is working, it’s a challenging reef environment: the bottom is rocky with sea urchins, and conditions are described as exposed with short, punchy rides. One provider notes stormy weather is required for the best sets, and that stronger winds (notably from the north/west) are key to getting a usable surf window. Wave quality is not consistent—reported as poor/average depending on the conditions. Safety-wise, the hazard list is significant: rocks, sharks, urchins, and rips/undertow are all specifically called out, along with potential man-made hazards such as buoys. Both providers also state there are no lifeguard services available, so this is not a spot to rely on on-water rescue. Overall, Mills Point is best suited for experienced surfers comfortable with hazardous reef conditions and short, powerful waves. If you go, focus on the combination of the right swell wrapping into the break and wind that supports an offshore/grooming setup, and use appropriate protective gear such as reef boots/booties and a leash.
