Sandon Point Surf Guide
A perfect right point that barrels and walls and winds down the line and just doesn't stop - Sandon is one of the best righthand points in NSW, a long powerful wave that works well at three-feet, is even better at six-feet, and is superb at 10-feet and more. Sandon looks incredibly inviting from land, and it is, but make sure you don't overstay your welcome, because the power of Sandon is well-known for snapping boards and long hold-downs (even drownings). The wave breaks over a nasty, uneven, weed-covered reef. Another benefit of the wave is that it can handle a southerly wind. When the swell gets some E in it, it will peel all the way through to the beach, jacking, ledging and throwing out as it goes. And all this for a distance of up to 400 meters.
