Collaroy Surf Guide
Collaroy is a bit of a wonky, last resort surf spot in a very big south or northeast swell swells with south wind. Good waves can break off the outer reefs on the north side of the headland, as well as off the tip of Long Reef headland. This area takes some local knowledge to understand it's nuanced idiosyncrasies.
