Beginner basics

Where to go

Baby Point and Whiskey Point on smaller days are A-Bay's friendlier waves — long, mellow, sand-and-rock-bottom rights perfect for advancing beginners. Take a lesson at Main Point first.

What to avoid

Don't try Main Point on any size beyond chest-high — it's contested by competent regulars and the lineup gets territorial. Don't swim or surf in the lagoons (real crocodile risk).

Best beginner conditions

Knee-to-chest SW swell, 10s+ period, light W wind, mid tide. May–September monsoon season delivers the most consistent friendly conditions.
