Warriewood Beach
Live conditions and scores
Warriewood is a 500-metre arc of orange-pink sand between Mona Vale Headland and Turimetta Head. The headlands frame both ends, giving a sheltered, enclosed feel. The steep driveway down from Narrabeen Park Parade keeps crowds down, making it quieter than nearby Narrabeen and Mona Vale.
Head to the northern end for the best surf. A beach break with a left off the point, it works best on an east-southeast swell in autumn, with south-southwest offshore winds. The southern end is gentler and good for learners. Rips run the full length, and the shore break can be heavy. Professional lifeguards patrol weekdays September to April, with volunteer patrols on weekends and public holidays.
At the southern headland near Turimetta Head you'll find rock pools and a small waterfall dropping onto mossy rocks. At low tide, the sand connects north to Mona Vale Beach. The Blowhole below the cliff is known from Home and Away as Jump Rock. View it from above only. Jumping in has killed people.
There's a café at the southern end for coffee and lunch with sea views.
