Box Head is a fickle but special break located at the edge of the Bouddi National Park on the Central Coast across Broken Bay from Palm Beach. The wave is a powerful left-hander that runs beside the Box Head headland over a sandbank that can serve up super long rides for up to 1500m. However this sort of glory does not come easy, the wave breaks a few kilometres off Umina Beach and can be accessed by paddling from there. Perhaps the best option is finding a mate with a boat and making a day trip of it. Another option is catching the ferry from Palm Beach to Ettalong and heading out from there, either way requires bionic arms. It requires a large southeast swell to break. Currents can be full-on here and there’s a lot of watercraft about. When it’s on it gets busy with crews from the Central Coast and Sydney flocking even if it is mid-week.

What are the best surf conditions for Box Head?

Gets good between head-high to triple overhead. We recommend riding your longboard, standard shortboard or fish here. Box Head on the Central Coast is best suited to intermediate to advanced surfers. The surf here doesn’t break very often (3/10) and gets super crowded when it’s on (9/10). The best winds for Box Head are Northeast. The best swell direction is from the South and Southeast.
