Narooma Breakwater

Narooma Breakwater is an exposed breakwater point-style right-hander located at the Wagonga Inlet entrance. The break can be inconsistent, but when conditions line up it forms peeling, wall-like waves along the northern breakwater wall. Winter is the most reliable time for surf, with June identified as the peak month. Westerly winds tend to produce the cleanest surf by acting offshore/light offshore, helping groom the wave. The break is typically best around mid tide, and the working swell direction is South to Southeast with a reported effective swell height window of about 1.0 to 2.5 meters. Because of the exposed breakwater setting, hazards are a key consideration: submerged rocks, shark risk, and strong tidal currents near the inlet entrance are specifically called out. Boat traffic is also present, so you should keep clear of the active boat channel. The incoming tide is generally safer than the outgoing tide, which can pull you seaward. This spot is described as low-profile—generally unlikely to be too crowded even when the surf is up—so it often suits surfers who want a quieter session when the breakwater sets cleanly.
