Raffs surf guide

Raffs is a popular surf spot located near Ocean Grove, offering a relaxed vibe that attracts surfers of all levels. While it may not be the most renowned location, it’s still a decent place to catch some waves, especially for those new to the sport. The area sees a surprising amount of activity, so it can feel a bit crowded at times, but there’s plenty of sandy beach to explore if you want a break from the surf.

The surf at Raffs mainly consists of gentle beachbreak peaks that cater to beginners, loggers, and SUP enthusiasts. It really comes to life with a good-sized south-west swell, especially when the swell is around 1ft (0.3m) or more. The ideal swell direction here is south-east, but it can also work with some south-west. You'll find waves breaking over sand, and you can enjoy both left and right-handers. The best conditions usually happen with a north wind, and you can pretty much hit the water at any tide—low, mid, or high.

The local surf club offers all the necessary facilities, making it a convenient spot for a day's outing. There are plenty of surf schools in the area if you're looking to improve your skills or try out surfing for the first time. Overall, while Raffs may not be epic, it's definitely a friendly and approachable spot for anyone looking to enjoy some surfing.
