Mollymook Beach
Mollymook Beach is a quality beach break on the NSW South Coast that produces consistent, fun waves away from Sydney's crowds. The beach faces ESE and picks up a wide range of swells, with multiple peaks shifting along the sandbars. The northern end near the golf course often produces the best banks. When E-SE swells combine with light W winds, Mollymook delivers long, workable walls perfect for progressive surfing. The area has excellent restaurants and the famous Bannisters resort, making it a favourite weekend escape for Sydney surfers.
