Dalmeny surf guide

Dalmeny is a surf spot located on the southeastern coast of Australia. It's known for its easy-going vibe and is nestled right in front of a campground, making it convenient for surfers looking to catch some waves. While not the most famous spot around, it's a decent place to enjoy a session, especially on the right day. Just a heads up, if you’re around Yabbarra, you might find more consistent waves to the south of town.

The surf at Dalmeny works well with a southeast swell, handling sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters). You can expect waves that break over sand and uneven reef, offering both left and right rides. The best times to surf here are during mid to high tide, and the surf tends to get a bit mushy and fat at high tide, making it more suitable for beginners. If the wind is coming from the west, that’s usually when the conditions are a bit better.

Dalmeny is a great spot for beginners looking to practice. The waves are often fun and easy, which can help build confidence in the water. However, don't expect epic days; it's more about enjoying the local vibe and getting in some relaxed sessions.
