Bronte surf guide

Bronte is a small beach located in Australia, featuring both a beachbreak and a reef tucked behind the cliffs at the southern end. This spot offers decent protection from S winds, making it a go-to for locals and visitors alike. It's got a laid-back vibe, but it can get pretty crowded, especially on good days.

The surf at Bronte is somewhat inconsistent, but it has its good moments. It works best with an east swell, and you can also catch some waves with northeast and south swells. The waves break over sand, with both left and right directions available. You can surf here when the swell is about 1 ft (0.3 m) or bigger, which is manageable for beginners. The best time to surf is usually around low to mid tide, but you can also find rideable waves during high tide. Just be mindful of the rippy channel that runs between the reef and the left beachbreak.

On those rare days when conditions align perfectly, Bronte can really shine. Despite its inconsistency, it's still a fun spot to hit, especially for beginners looking to build their skills in a beautiful setting.
