Merimbula bar
Edit SpotAbout
Merimula is a beautiful place to just hang out, with a few other top surf spots as well. When Merimula bar gets good, it gets very crowded, so you have to just be patient. A classic wave, and worth the trip to the place.
Additional Info:
This wave is one of Australia's classic lefthanders, but it is extrmely fickle.
During school hoildays and after school, all the local gromets surf this place. Also there are a lot of surf skis and mals to contend with.
Very fickle location, but when it gets good, it is a absloute joy to surf, looonnnnggggg and perfect. Very fun
