Terrigal Haven surf guide

Terrigal Haven is a popular surf spot located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It's known for its picturesque scenery and variety of surfing options. The haven is nestled near a rocky outcrop that offers some protection from the wind. While it's a spot that attracts many surfers, it can be a bit crowded at times, especially during weekends and school holidays.

When it comes to surfing at Terrigal Haven, the waves are best suited for experts. Generally, the spot handles swells around 1.5 meters (5 feet) and works well with east to southeast swells. The waves tend to break over uneven reef, providing powerful and grinding right-handers that can peel for over 200 meters. For the best conditions, aim for a chunky east to southeast swell at mid tide, and be aware that the waves can sometimes close-out and present unexpected rock surprises.

If you're looking to chill after surfing, you can head to the nearby boat harbor to jump off the rocks. While all facilities are easily accessible on the main drag, parking can be a bit of a hassle, so it's good to arrive early if you want to secure a spot. Bring your gear and be prepared for a solid session!
