Crocodile Rock is located south of its namesake landmark and is known for its sandy point that offers a laid-back surf experience. Reaching the surf spot requires a 20-minute walk, where you'll have to cross two river mouths. This means you might encounter some wildlife along the way, so keep your eyes peeled.
The surf at Crocodile Rock is mostly mushy rights that can work well with a south-east swell direction. It handles swell sizes starting at about 1 foot (0.3 meters) and can also pick up waves from the north and south. The waves break over sand, making it beginner-friendly. The best sessions usually happen when the wind is coming from the south-west and during low to mid to high tide. Overall, it’s a mellow spot that suits surfers looking for an easy-going day on the water.
Since it’s a bit of a trek to get there, you’ll often find that the crowds are pretty low. This makes it a good option if you’re after a more relaxed surfing experience without too many people around. Just be prepared for the walk in, and enjoy the chill vibe once you get to Crocodile Rock.
