The wave

A National Surfing Reserve, at the bottom of the hill.

The point at Crescent Head is one of the longest right-hand longboard waves in the country — mellow, forgiving, and peeling all the way to Killick Creek. Declared a National Surfing Reserve in 2008, it suits everyone from a first-timer on a foamie to a seasoned longboarder. The Deck sits seven minutes' walk up the hill.

Set up for surf trips.

Walk to the line-up

Seven minutes downhill to the point — no driving, no parking, no fuss. Check the swell from the deck before you even wax up.

Boards & wetsuits sorted

Outdoor shower (hot and cold) to rinse the salt, a rail for the wetsuit, and a garage to keep the longboards safe overnight.

Sleeps six

Two queens and a room with two singles. Bring the crew, split the house, and still have the deck for the post-surf debrief.

Dawn-patrol ready

Nespresso and a 900mm cooktop for the early start, a wood fireplace for the cold ones, Starlink to check the forecast.

When to come

Surf all year, best in winter.

The point works year-round, but May to August is when the south-easterly swells line up cleanest. The Malibu Classic — Australia's classic longboard contest — rolls into town each year.

Local knowledge

Where to surf.

The point is the headline, but there's more — the back beaches south of town, Killick, and the spots that turn on with the right swell.
