Camel Rock in Bermagui is a popular surfing spot that attracts a good number of surfers. It's located just a little south of town, making it an easy pick for those looking to catch some waves. The area is known for its scenic views and beach vibe, giving it a laid-back feel.
The surf at Camel Rock can be decent when the conditions are right. It really comes alive with NE (Northeast) to SE (Southeast) swells. When the sand aligns properly, you can catch some long, sucky lefts. It can handle swell sizes around 2ft to 6ft (about 0.6m to 1.8m) and offers both left and right waves. If you’re an intermediate surfer, you’ll find this spot suitable for your skill level, especially when the wind is coming from the NW (Northwest). It's best to surf it during low, mid, or high tide depending on the conditions that day.
Also, if the wind is blowing from the south, you might want to check out the Wallaga Lake entrance, which is just over the headland. That spot can offer a different experience when Camel Rock isn't firing. Overall, make sure to keep an eye on the sandbanks, as they can change and affect the surf quality.
