SURF RETREAT

Surf, Vibe, Soul - Reserve your Spot

Retreat With Us at Red Dog Surf — Where Skill Meets Soul

Discover one of Australia’s most raw and untamed surf zones with Red Dog Surf, proudly based at Point Plomer in Limeburners Creek National Park on the Mid North Coast.

This is more than a surf trip. It’s a tailored retreat experience designed to help you upgrade your surf skills (no matter your level), connect with like-minded crew, and fully decompress in a setting of rare beauty and serenity.

Nestled between bush and beach, our remote coastal base offers front-row access to a wave-rich region that’s as soulful as it is uncrowded. Here, nature sets the pace. The air is clean, the ocean is alive with opportunity, and the distractions of everyday life fall away. With a dedicated team supporting you throughout your stay, you’re free to drop into the rhythm of surf, rest, and genuine connection.

Our local stretch of coastline is home to a diverse range of waves, from cruisy longboard rollers to playful peaks and hollow beach breaks, all within a short paddle or scenic drive from camp. Daily guided surf sessions are tailored to your ability and goals, matching you with the best conditions and local knowledge so you can progress with confidence, flow, and ease.

When conditions align, we also venture further afield on optional guided day missions to nearby gems. These sessions are always led with safety, stoke, and flexibility in mind, offering the chance to explore new breaks without the stress of logistics.

Our retreat-style surf stays are based in a bush-meets-beach setting just steps from the sand. You can join as a solo traveller, come with a mate, or bring your crew, choosing from shared accommodation or private cabins for a more intimate, relaxed stay.

Set within Limeburners Creek National Park, our eco-conscious base invites you to slow down, switch off, and truly reconnect, not just with the surf, but with yourself. With small groups, personalised guidance, and years of local surf intel, this is an unforgettable retreat for those ready to specialise, progress, and experience surfing the way it was meant to be: simple, supported, and deeply nourishing.

What they’re saying

Brent’s experience and knowledge in the water was amazing. He was able to give me great advice and was able to see in a couple of minutes what was holding my surfing back. I would highly recommend getting lessons to anyone of all abilities

Josh Whitehouse
One of those surfers who has achieved so much, he just wants everyone to froth - and make sure everyone in the line up gets a wave! He can read a set of waves like non other, and he looks after you out there... if you lack the confidence / know how, don’t distress, you’ll be in safe hands, and you’ll shred in no time.

Sebastian Amor-Smith
Red dog is a legend! Three of us did lessons with him (our experience ranged from absolute beginner through to surfing for a few years) and he tailored the lessons for us so that all of us made a breakthrough in our surfing thanks to him. We will be back!

Alice Wood
Had a great time with Brent! I managed to ride the longest wave I’ve ever experienced so far!
