Maroubra Beach

Intermediate Beach break Sand bottom Peels both 0.8–3 m Any tide

A long, powerful beach break and National Surfing Reserve south of Bondi, with heavy wedging peaks and a proud local surf culture. Less touristy than its northern neighbour and consistently better on south-east swells, with a reputation for hard waves and harder locals.
