Pambula Rivermouth Surf Guide

When it's good it's a perfectly hollow, 200-meter, righthand, sand-bottom tuberide. The rivermouth provides the ideal sand setup, all that is required is the perfect swell direction from the NE, preferably the remnants of a tropical cyclone that has slipped down the NSW coast. A tricky recipe in these parts, but when the ingredients come together, you're in for a taste sensation you won't forget quickly.
