Burwood Beach is a spot that offers a mix of beach breaks and a righthand point known as Leggies. It’s a bit of a more recreational area compared to some other more famous surf spots. The beach stretches out, giving plenty of space to spread out, especially if you head further down the shore where it’s usually quieter. The locals are around, and they can be pretty serious about their surf, especially when the conditions are right.

This beach really shines with swells coming from the NorthEast, but it can also manage swells from the South. The waves are best for intermediate surfers and can vary between 2ft (about 0.6m) and larger, depending on the swell. The waves break over uneven reef and sand, offering both left and right options for riding. If you're looking for the best conditions, try to hit it when the wind is blowing from the NorthWest and the tide is at low, mid, or high levels. Just be ready to share the lineup, especially when the rights are firing.

Beyond the surf, the beach has a casual vibe, but it helps to know your way around and be respectful of the locals. Since it can get a bit crowded at times, especially when conditions are ideal, it's a good idea to be patient. Always remember to check the surf forecast before heading out to make the most of your session.
