Towradgi is a beach break where a reef beside the pool holds the sand and coaxes rights and lefts to stand up before they run through to the beachbreaks that stretch south to Fairy Meadow and north to Corrimal and Bellambi. The waves break over a mix of uneven reef and sand, giving up both lefts and rights when the banks line up.
When It Works
Towradgi draws swell from northeast through east-southeast to south, with east the best direction. It works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 3 m / 10 ft and stays reliably consistent, so there are plenty of chances to score. A bit of angle on the swell helps the peaks stand up and shoot down the line.
Wind and Tide
Look for west offshore wind to clean it up. The break can work through most of the tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This one suits intermediate surfers, and you can expect a moderately busy lineup when it works. Crowds tend to thin out here when the bigger name breaks nearby are firing, so it can be a handy option on a busy swell.
Access
There are restrooms, showers, a lifeguard, and a surf shop on hand. Parking is easy, with a car park offering free parking alongside paid and roadside options.
