Avoca Point
The jewel of the Central Coast - a right-hand point that peels along the southern rocks when solid E-SE swells arrive. Long rides of 100+ metres are possible on the best days, drawing crowds from Sydney and beyond. The point section demands respect with its rocky takeoff zone, while the beach offers more forgiving peaks for those not ready for the main event.
