Ours

Cape Solander, Australia
⚠️Shallow🪨Rocks😮‍💨Hold-downs🦈Sharks👊Localism

Ours (Cape Fear) is Sydney's most notorious wave—a heavy right-hand slab that breaks over shallow rock in front of dramatic sea cliffs in Bra Boys territory. Made famous by the documentary of the same name, Ours is as much about the tribal localism as the wave itself. The slab produces thick, ledging barrels that detonate just meters from the cliff face. Getting in requires jumping off rocks; getting out is harder. It's dangerous, localized, and unforgiving—but the barrels are undeniably world-class.
