Surf Break: Cape Patterson

Name: Cape Patterson
Type: reef
Reliability: fairly consistent
Best Swell: SW Offshore Wind: N

Cape Patterson on the East Coast is a sheltered reef break that has pretty consitent surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds are from the north. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southwest. The right reef break is best, but there is a left reef too.. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Take care to avoid the rocks.

Secret spot? We can hide it!

Visitor Reviews of Cape Patterson


John from AUSTRALIA writes:

My name is John and I've also been surfing Cape Paterson for quite a number of years now and I have never seen this place called channel. Max Combridge I think you must be thinking of Inverloch because Cape Paterson just has three breaks. I believe they are called First Surf, Second Surf and Third Surf. Second and Third spot are hard to find. Second is behind some dunes and Third is way down the beach towards Phillip Island.
