Black Rock / Aussie Pipe surf guide

Black Rock, also known as Aussie Pipe, is a surf spot located in the beautiful Jervis Bay area of New South Wales, Australia. This place is well-known among surfers for its consistent waves and picturesque scenery. The surf here is usually buzzing with activity, so be ready for a crowd, especially when the swell is good. The spot has some historical significance as well, being the unofficial home of Indigenous surfing since the land was returned to its traditional owners in 1955.

The surf at Black Rock is best for expert surfers looking for a challenge. It works well with south swells and can handle wave sizes around 3ft (about 1 meter). The waves break over an uneven reef, making it essential to be cautious out there. You'll find both left and right breaks, depending on the swell direction, which tends to come from the southeast or south. The preferred wind direction is northeast, and it can be surfed at low, mid, or high tide. Just keep in mind that during southeast swells combined with northeast seabreezes, the spot can get pretty crowded.

Besides the waves, it's worth noting that the local surf scene is quite protective of the area. If you do decide to hit the water at Black Rock, showing respect to the local surfers and their home is important. It's a great spot if you’re looking for consistent surf in a stunning natural environment, but make sure you know what you're doing before paddling out.
