With more than 100 beaches in the vicinity, Sydney is a surfer’s paradise. Whether you’re a novice seeking surf lessons or an experienced wave-rider, you’re sure to find the perfect place for surfing in Sydney.The central Sydney beaches are by far the busiest, as they're the easiest to reach from the busy city. The further north or south you travel out of town, the less crowded the waves will be. If you can, take advantage of less crowded conditions by surfing outside of peak times i.e. during the week when locals are at work, or early weekend mornings before the crowds wake up.

So whether you're someone who lives to surf, or you're a total novice ready to dip your toes into the swell, read on for some of the best spots for surfing in Sydney.
