Pambula Rivermouth in Far South Australia is an exposed beach/Sandbar break that has inconsistent surf. The optimum time of year for waves is autumn. Works best in offshore winds from the southwest. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northeast. The beach breaks peel to the right. Best around low tide. Sometimes crowded. Beware of rips and sharks.

Visitor Reviews of Pambula Rivermouth


Phil Osopher from AUSTRALIA writes:

Have lived in the region for 11 years and have seen this place go off 3 times. I remember reading a surf guide which says this place can be world class. This is true, but you can grow old waiting for those perfect days.
This is not to say it isn't good most of the time, because the Rivo will offer some perfect little winter waves. Catch it on the right tide and a good time is guaranteed. The rights tend to be fast and take-off position is critical. The locals are very friendly and the feel in the water mostly is fairly mellow. Can get a bit spooky though, with the river mouth known to produce some grey beasts.
A very beautiful place to visit though.
