Myponga is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. This spot is known for its left-hand wave direction and features a boulder bottom. It can be surfed at all tides and is considered a regional classic in terms of wave quality. The spot is suitable for surfers of all experience levels, but it rarely breaks, only working about three times a year when there’s a significant southwest storm blowing out the mid coast. The waves can reach a length of 50 to 150 meters. Myponga is often empty, providing a more solitary surfing experience. However, surfers should be aware of the presence of urchins, rocks, and sharks, which are known to sit off the point. The spot is considered a ‘secret spot’ that many seem to know about, and it requires a lot of storm action to fire, with winds of 40 knots or more. Interestingly, the surrounding hills funnel the wind offshore, creating favorable conditions. To reach Myponga, turn towards the Myponga Reservoir and continue past it. A 4×4 vehicle may be necessary for access. Nearby surf spots include Gull Rock, Moana Beach, Seaford Reef, 3 Poles Reef, and Southport. When visiting, it’s important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette, especially when the spot is crowded. Always check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Remember to keep an eye on the surf forecast, report, map, and webcam for the latest conditions. Respect the locals.

Tides play a role in determining wave quality at many surf spots, but some locations like Myponga remain consistent regardless of tidal changes. In these spots, the depth of the water over the seabed stays relatively stable, meaning the waves break in a similar way throughout the tidal cycle. Whether it's high, medium, or low tide, the wave conditions at these spots are largely unaffected, offering consistent surf sessions at any time of day.
