Cotton Trees surf guide

Cotton Trees is a surf spot that has gained attention for its unique waves and laid-back vibe. It's located near some iconic giant trees which are a familiar sight to regulars. The area provides a mix of beach and rocky features, making it an interesting choice for surfers looking for various types of surf. The spot is known for its connection into what feels like one long wave, but it can often be split into two sections known as Uppers and Lowers.

The surf here works best with a south swell and can handle sizes from about 2 ft (0.6 m) and up. Waves break over both boulders and sand, giving it some variety, but be mindful as it can get a bit tricky during big swells. The waves can typically peel left, which is something to keep in mind when positioning yourself in the lineup. For the best experience, East winds are preferred, and it’s suitable to surf at low, mid, and high tides. This spot is generally good for intermediate surfers looking for a bit of a challenge.

When the tide is low, you might get a taste of something reminiscent of Kirra, with some fun barrels rolling down the shallow sandbar. The environment has its own quirks - watch out for those boulders, especially when the surf is big and the currents start to pick up. It’s definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in the area.
