The ocean temperature only moves a few degrees during the changing seasons so for the surfer hunting waves all year round you are absolutely spoiled for choice, surfing with crowds will be a distance memory as the year round powerful swells pound our shores
The annual Malibu contest is held in Merimbula each year and this year is the events 24th year, this contest can attract over 70 contestants. (See the link below for more details)
This year (2010) will also see the 30th Merimbula Classic held in November at Main Beach. 180 kite surfers, wave sailors and Stand Up Paddle surfers (SUPS) from all over the globe gather to collect $40,000 worth of prizes. It’s a four day event held at Merimbula or nearby beaches which turn on a variety of conditions for each class of surfing, strong southerly winds which hit beaches that time of year makes it an ideal surfing playground.
Its quite rare to find the beaches flat for more than just a couple of days as the swell is so consistent, for the biggest and most spectacular waves winter and spring is the time when for the large swells, during the summer and autumn months the swells smaller but its still great challenge, there is a wide variety of difficulty waves up and down the coast which suits the experience surfer but for the beginners there are a number of small to medium beach breaks on offer.
For the ultimate surf safari on the wilderness coast, visit the National Parks office's, lay your hands on some of the local maps of the National Parks in the Merimbula Bermagui Region. Read the rules and regs of the National Parks first, then drive through and visit the hundreds of beaches we have on offer down here and find that perfect wave yourself for the surfing life experience, surfing is all about getting back to nature and personal challenge, you won't find a better place.
