Surf-default-break-image
Name: Thommos
Type: reef
Reliability: fairly consistent
Best Swell: NE Offshore Wind: WNW

Thommos in Sydney South is an exposed reef break that has quite consistent surf. The favoured time of year for waves is autumn. The best wind direction is from the west northwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northeast. A left hand reef break. Best around low tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Hazards include rocks and sharks.

Visitor Reviews of Thommos


Phil Osopher from AUSTRALIA writes:

A goofy's paradise, Thommoes can provide the ride of your life. It has probably the weirdest side/back wash of any break I have surfed, as the waves rebound off almost vertical rocks and hit the oncoming waves on a strange angle, creating some interesting and unpredictable sections. Can be long and wally, and works very well in nor-easterly swells with no wind or light westerly. Timing the paddle out is important. Love this place, but respect the locals.
