Description
Ocean Beach SLSC
Established 1921
The surf club at Ocean Beach occupies the northern end of the beach which is also served by Umina SLSC. Good access is provided the length of the beach, with a large car park next to both surf clubs.
The beach starts at Wagstaff Point a sandy spit that separates it from the estuarine Ettalong Beach. It runs initially from the point as Ocean Beach, a misnomer, as here it is essentially part of the Brisbane Water ebb tide delta, hence largely tide dominated. The delta forms tidal shoals that extend off the centre of the beach for nearly 2km to Little Box Head. Immediately west of the shoals in the vicinity of the Ocean Beach Surf Club wave height increases, particularly during south east swell conditions. The waves break over shallow bars and troughs, that none the less generate rips and tidal currents.
