Mona Vale-The Basin

Located on Sydney's North Coast, Mona Vale-The Basin is a reef break with waves that work at any tide. The surf is inconsistent but can be great when conditions align, especially with northeast swells. Beginners and intermediates will enjoy the mellow waves, though crowds can form when the surf is good. Be cautious of strong rips and local surfers who patrol the lineup. With warm water year-round, it's a pleasant spot to surf.
