Barely any parking in summer, heaps of Canberran fags, but on a big day they will stay out of the water coz there all pussy fags and usually only locals are out there, pretty shit wave and best suited to stand ups / mal riders, pretty crap wave for boogers best to head up to the reefs in Durras and Bawley
Atmosphere
Beach Break with a bit of reef on the left side that only works on a big south swell, hardly barrels

Essential Spot Check - Far South / Eurobodalla Coast - McKenzies is a top five essential eurobodalla / far sth coast spot check locations due south of Batemans Bay. This is because of both its geographical location & the versatility of the break year round. As an experienced local surfer who frequents this spot, I can attest with an undying, unbiased commitment to accuracy that a majority of the shared information relating to this break is accurate. It works on a variety of conditions including SE & NE swell directions & all cross-off / off shore winds.
local far south / eurobodalla coast surfer with pure intentions, my aim is to honestly provide unbiased spot reviews in an attempt to both confirm the accurate details & to clear up any misinformation shared about breaks.
