Coalcliff is a surf spot located on the southern coast of Sydney. It features a mix of breaks that can cater to different levels of surfers, although it can be a bit hit or miss depending on conditions. The most consistent wave here breaks right in front of the carpark, making it a popular choice for many. On the right day, you might find some decent fun, but don't expect it to be world-class all the time.

The surf at Coalcliff generally handles swell sizes starting from 2ft (about 0.6 meters). The best swell direction is from the east, but it can also work with a north-east or south-east swell. You'll find a mix of beach breaks that can go left or right, with the waves breaking over uneven reef and sand. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tide, and if the wind is blowing from the west, conditions are usually more favorable. Beginners can have a good time here in smaller swells, but it's essential to respect the water and be aware of your surroundings.

When you're surfing at Coalcliff, just keep an eye out for rocks along the beach. Depending on the swell and tide, some of the other breaks can be a bit fluky, so it's good to stay flexible and be ready to move around if needed. Overall, it's a chill spot for a surf session when the conditions align, but it's not always exciting.
