Surfing at Lefthanders

Lefthanders is an exposed reef break home to Ulus, Noisies, Lefties and Umbies, all of which are suited to a variety of different skill levels.

After a long but worthy walk from the carpark you will initailly reach Ulus, Noisies and Lefties, all relatively easy waves. Further along the coast is Umbies, a well known board breaker that is best to take a look at before paddling straight out. Collectively, each of these breaks offer hollow and heavy lefthanders with thick lips and fast rides, with each wave varying in difficulty. Leftanders is a fairly consistent wave, with the break performing at its best at mid-high tide, with offshore easterly winds and swells coming from the west-southwest. This collection of breaks is best suited to the intermediate to advanced surfer depending on the break and conditions. Beware of rocks and crowds, as it is often a popular location when the conditions are right.
