The “Bottom End” of Yorke Peninsula is one of Australia’s top surfing areas, boasting a range of excellent locations to hit the waves. Some areas are not for the faint hearted; beginners of all ages should take heed of the potentially dangerous nature of some of the surf conditions, including rips, heavy surf and undertow. Major surf competitions are held around the south-west coast. A growth in the local interest of young people in surfing has led to the formation of Yorke’s Junior Surf Club. The annual “Berry Bay Surf Jam” draws crowds of keen surfers from all parts of Australia. "Berry Bay Surf Jam", Berry Bay The Yorkes Junior Surf Club was formed back in 2010 with the aim to encourage and support young local kids and families to discover the wonderful journey of surfing on the Yorke Peninsula. Qualified Innes National Park surf coaches and parents help juniors build surf safety and surf skills from beginner levels to more advanced levels. The club holds an annual State level junior surf contest, the “Berry Bay Surf Jam” which attracts competitors from far afield, competing in the surf at Berry Bay, near Corny Point. It’s often wise to seek advice offered by knowledgeable locals regarding surf conditions. A general guide to the top spots is as follows. Medium surf indicates waves of two metres or more, heavy surf indicates waves above two metres and the added danger of strong rips or undercurrents. Enjoy, but take care!
