“Dalmeny is generally a soft wave, although 2 weeks ago, a left developed as a result of an easterly swell which was producing shoulder high walls with SW winds and a dropping tide. The right was OK, but there was obviously too much east in the swell. After many looks at this place over the years, I struck it in rare form. The crowds were minimal (mind you, it was mid week, late morning), and the water was clear and warm. This does not happen often, but if the conditions are right, you WILL be surprised. A good option sometimes when south wind and swell are out of control.”

“Our family have been coming to this area on the south coast for many years. Dalmeny is at the northern end of a stretch of beaches north or Narooma.
Dalmeny point is not a reef break but a sand bank which can be a stretch of sand which lies parallel to the rocks giving it a point break appearance. Water and sand pushed out by the mouth of Mummaga lake / inlet seems to assist the bank formation. When the banks are good there can be left and rights. An A frame take off with an often A decent point like right can be surfed in the right conditions ie banks swell and winds?
The info found here about Dalmeny is pretty much right. A great scenic spot with the odd wave that can leave a surfer satisfied if not stoked.”
