Acids

Acids is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This spot is known for its powerful and hollow waves, which can be quite dangerous due to the shallow coral reef and sand bottom. The waves break left, and the spot is best surfed at low tide, although some surfers find it goes well at mid-tide too. It’s important to be cautious of the tide changes to avoid being caught on the dry reef. The waves can form wedges and A-frames, providing a challenging experience for intermediate surfers. The length of the wave is less than 50 meters, and the spot is often crowded, so it’s crucial to check the surf etiquette. Wearing a wetsuit is recommended as the reef is sharp and can cause cuts. The atmosphere at Acids is generally calm and quiet, making it a great place for bodyboarding. However, the spot is known for localism, so respect the locals. Acids is located near North Wollongong Beach, and it’s the first reef you see on the left after the rocks. It’s a bit hard to find, so asking for directions from someone familiar with the area might be helpful. Nearby surf spots include Wollongong Puckies Reef, North Beach, The Bombie North Beach, Wollongong Connies, and Lassos. Remember to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals.
