Frenchies

Frenchies is a beach break located on the northern New South Wales coast near Sydney, Australia. The spot features a northeast-facing sandy beach with protected waters backed by dense residential development. The beach is characterized by gentle, rolling waves suitable for learning and progression, with relatively small average swell heights. Wind conditions are generally light with low reliability, making consistent riding challenging. The shallow nearshore zone and proximity to populated areas mean the spot experiences regular swimmer traffic, particularly during warmer months. The spot is best suited for beginners and improving intermediate riders seeking mellow, small-wave conditions in a sheltered beach environment. Kiters should expect crowded conditions on good wind days and plan sessions around peak hours to avoid swimmers. The lack of strong wind patterns and modest wave heights means this location works best as a supplementary spot rather than a primary destination for serious progression.
