Cox Bay Surf Guide
Both ends of the flat, broad beach offer plenty in the way of shifty beachbreak walls, while the middle of the beach combines both the N and S swell energy to throw up some decent wedge peaks. The whole shebang generally closes out with anything over six feet, but surprises can be had. The southern headland offers good protection against S winds. Cox is a huge beach, so there's plenty of room for everyone.
