Iluka North Wall surf guide

Iluka North Wall is located at the mouth of the Clarence River and serves as a popular surf spot for locals and visitors alike. The surf break is known to produce some wedgy rights, especially when there’s a right E-SE swell. The area can get a bit sharky, and the ride here is often best compared to nearby spots such as Turners, but it's worth checking out if conditions are right.

The optimal swell direction for Iluka North Wall is Southeast. It can handle swell sizes as small as 1 foot (0.3 meters), making it accessible for beginners. You can catch right-hand waves with a bounce from the wall, while some lefts may appear when the wind is from the Northeast. The preferred wind direction is from the West, and it works well on all tide heights—low, mid, and high. There are also opportunities for rights to break further down the beach, but many surfers find they prefer the action back towards the wall.

Getting to Iluka North Wall involves a bit of a drive, especially if you’re coming from Yamba, since you’ll need to navigate around the bridges. Keep in mind that the north end under the bluff might be decent in a Northeast wind. With a good setup, it can be a fun spot to ride some waves, but be ready to share the waves with fellow surfers.
