Asling Beach is the main surfing spot in Eden. It offers a fun surf experience, especially when there’s some southeastern swell. The beach is well protected from northerly winds due to its position in Twofold Bay, making it a reliable option during less than ideal wind conditions.
The waves here can be decent, especially at low and mid tide. When the southern swell rolls in, Asling can produce some nice hollow peaks that break both left and right over sand. It handles swell sizes starting from 1 ft (0.3 m), and the ideal swell direction is southeast, though it also works with east and south swells. Beginners will find it suitable since the waves are generally manageable, but timing with the tides is important to get the best conditions.
For the best experience, aim for a northwest wind, as it keeps the waves clean. Asling Beach can be a bit inconsistent but is definitely worth checking out when the conditions line up right. If you’re new to surfing or looking for a chill session, this spot has a friendly vibe, making it a great place to enjoy the ocean.
