ButterBox

ButterBox is a beach break located on the New South Wales coast facing northeast toward the Tasman Sea. The spot features a rocky headland with a narrow sandy beach access point flanked by cliff formations and rocky outcrops. Wave exposure is significant with consistent swell visible in the satellite imagery. The shallow reef formations create defined break zones but also present navigation hazards. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) provide ideal kiting conditions, though prevailing conditions show very low wind reliability at 3.9%. Average wave height of 1.07m suggests variable conditions. Water temperature around 18.3°C requires appropriate thermal protection. Best suited for intermediate kiters comfortable with rocky coastlines and moderate wave conditions. Launch and landing requires careful navigation through the narrow beach zone. Strong currents around the headland and potential for sudden wind changes due to cliff proximity demand experience and local knowledge. This location offers quality waves but demands respect for natural hazards.
