Surf's up 365 days a year in Victoria.

The Mornington Peninsula National Park sees some swell rolling in from the Southern Ocean. Novices, professionals and everyone in between will find a break to suit their skill level here. Autumn receives the biggest swell while in summer the waves are smaller - ideal for the hoards of holiday makers who head for the coast and give surfing a try at one of the many beach side surf schools. Some of the best spots for the more competent surfer include Point Leo, Portsea, Sorrento and Gunnamatta.

Also check out Wilsons Promontory, Gippsland and Croajingolong National parks for good surfing spots.
