Point Plomer

Point Plomer is a right-hand point break that generates long rides when sandbars are well-formed, typically reaching manageable sizes around 2 feet with favorable swell and wind. The wave breaks over sand mixed with some reef and scattered rocks, demanding more precise positioning and cutbacks through the refraction zone, especially on lower tides when the bottom becomes shallower and more exposed. Best conditions arrive during winter months, particularly June, when south-southeast swells align with southwesterly offshores, producing clean waves roughly 46% of the time.

The point has been surfed for at least six decades, with camp access established in the early 1960s and gradually improved through the 1970s and 80s. A local community of regular surfers developed around the break, with documented longer rides extending several hundred meters during quality sessions, and informal social groups gathering between swells.

The surf spot lies within Limeburners Creek National Park, approximately 12 kilometers south of Crescent Head via sealed road, then 5 kilometers over unsealed track from the Big Hill entrance. The 84-site campground offers basic unpowered camping but no drinking water, requiring visitors to bring their own supply; the gravel road becomes potholed after heavy rain.
