Denhams Beach Surf Guide

Denhams Beach in Far South New South Wales is a fairly exposed beach break that has very consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds are from the west and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the east southeast. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. When it's working here, it can get crowded.
