Moonee Creek is a popular surf spot located at the mouth of Moonee Creek. The location benefits from the dynamic interaction between the river and the ocean, which helps create some interesting wave formations. This place is best suited for those who are a bit more experienced in the water, as the rip can be tricky, making it less ideal for beginners.
The surf here can be quite good when the conditions line up. It handles swell sizes starting from about 0.3 meters (1 ft) and can really come alive with a SouthEast swell. The waves typically break over sand and offer both left and right options, catering to different preferences. The best times to hit the water are during lower to mid tides, especially when there’s a SouthWest wind blowing, which keeps things clean. You might catch some sucky barrels if the conditions are on point, especially thanks to the rip at the creek mouth.
For those looking to paddle out, it’s essential to have an intermediate skill level to navigate the currents and the varying wave conditions. The spot is sheltered from South winds, which can help keep the waves rideable even when other locations may be blown out. If you're seeking a bit of a challenge, Moonee Creek can offer some fun sessions.
