Marley Surf Guide

Garie Point in Sydney South is an exposed point break that is usually a safe bet and works all around the year. Offshore winds blow from the northwest. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the best swell direction is from the southeast. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Sometimes crowded. Beware of rips, rocks and locals.
