Mills Point Surf Guide

Mills Point in Far South New South Wales is an exposed reef break that only works once in a while with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds blow from the west and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the southeast. No reef break here. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Likely to be crowded if working. Beware of urchins, rips, rocks, locals and sharks.
