The Tomakin River Mouth is located at Tomakin on the NSW South Coast approximately 300km (4 hours drive) south of Sydney.

The river mouth provides good flat-water-blasting and small wave riding for windsurfers and kitesurfers in a NE and S (and SE) breeze.

The rocks around the river mouth filter out most of the chop however the swell pushes through making it an idea combination of smooth water with waves to jump and ride.

During summer, the prevailing NE winds will generally produce 10 to 25 knots and you can expect 2 – 3 good sessions each week during this period.

The runs are shorter than Broulee (just to the south), but swell is clean whereas Broulee can be choppy.

Access & Launching

Access the beach from Kingston Place where you will find car parking and public toilets. The beach here is also dog friendly which is a bonus for those with dogs.

For windsurfers there is a nice grassy area to rig and for kiters there is room on the sandy beach.

Potential Hazards

Be aware of the tide at the mouth of the river which can produce a strong out-going current.

Where To Stay

Tomakin has a couple of caravan parks; Barlings Beach Holiday Park and Ingenio Holidays Tomakin plus a spattering of private holiday homes for rent.
