anyone know where the best spots are for SUP surfing near shoal bay port stevens? heading up there next week. Cheers

Burubi Beach - located at northern end of Stockton Beach. It blows off shore in NE. Nice cafe in the very small surf club and enjoy the uphill walk back to carpark.
Fingal Bay - crap if NE is up (heaps popular for kiters). Protection at southern end from southerly.
One Mile Beach - offers protection from NE and southerly. Cafe on beach and reminds me of Home & Away.

Flatwater paddle - there is plenty.

Note: Stockton is a breeding ground for Great Whites - but I didn't see any.

Cheers

Yep, good waves at One Mile:

Yeh they're mostly up the northern end, so they tell me!!!
Getting quieter now, something to do with the weather.
Bit of a trek but less crowds.

Yes, right where the best surf is! I wonder if the locals think I am a pervert because I park at the northern side of .the road into the beach camp?

Hey, there's a big sign on the way in saying "Nude Bathing Permitted", so it is kind of take it or leave it. Just don't expect naked glamours. It's 99%: naked old men with pot bellies who like to suspiciously disappear into the dunes.
.

(Now this should keep the crowds down? [}:)] )

That spot is called boulders for the obvious reason. Good wave in a big swell.

Yehh real secret spot that one, NOT

Boulders, shark attacks in 2007 and 2011. Have fun!

must agree

I have had mine broken into fishing at Tommaree during holidays years back. Broke a window to take nothing; Totally sucked.

If you ask me, Box Beach is not a SUP wave anyway. You are much better to keep driving around to Fingal. It is a beautiul place. Maybe even consider looking north towards Boxy and using a bit of lateral thinking. You never know what you might find?

Hey, supper funny story. I was once swimming with a mate from Boxy to Fingal Island spearfishing. I spotted a couple of what I thought were dirty old nude men around the corner and decided to keep swimming along the spit instead of walking. Abruptly I decided I was not going to let a pack of old perverts ruin my day and got out the water. Bugger me (be really careful saying that up there in case it happens) they turned out to be nude keen chicks! While they initiated a coversation my "buddy" disappeared into the distance. I spent the rest of the day considering why I should not spear him. Talk about missing a once in a lifetime opportunity!
