“The mouth of the Grey River is eased out into the Tasman Sea by two break walls and the northernmost break wall creates a booming peak with lefts and rights on offer in the big southwest to west swells that frequent this coastline.”
It’s a hunting ground for tuberiders and can handle plenty of size. If it’s really big then paddling off the beach is near impossible, so jump off the side of the break wall if you back yourself. Cobden beach stretches north and has nice little peaks if you strike an easterly, which is offshore. In a big northwest swell, which are often generated during summer months when the tropical cyclones pass across the top of New Zealand and near shore storm systems develop on the east coast of Australia, you’ll get the chance to surf the opposite side of the break wall. Known as Blaketown, the peak nearest the wall can produce some of the best rights on the coast. And when Cobden is truly maxing you may find Wavetraps, on the inside of the break wall, producing fast, hollow rights.
