Best Imoova Relocations for Surf Trips in Australia

Surf trips can be expensive, especially once you factor in board bags, rentals, vans, accommodation, and fuel. That’s where Imoova relocations come in: you get a one-way campervan or motorhome for a fraction of the cost, freeing up your budget to spend on better things. Here are some of the best surf-trip relocation routes across Australia and what to expect along the way.

Brisbane to Sydney (A classic)

Best for: Consistent swell, beginner-friendly beaches, iconic surf towns.

Top breaks:

  • Noosa (longboard heaven)

  • Agnes Water (great learner waves)

  • Yamba (quiet perfection)

  • Crescent Head (point-break royalty)

  • Lennox + Byron (world-class lines on the right day)

Luckily there's frequent Imoova deals, easy coastline driving, and endless low-cost camps or freedom camping spots along the way.

Sydney to Melbourne (Underrated Southern gems)

Best for: Intermediate surfers looking for powerful swell.

Top breaks:

  • Wollongong reefs

  • Ulladulla region

  • Torquay + Bells Beach (surf culture central)

Perfect for surfers looking to see a more rugged coastline.

Exmouth to Perth (Wild Western Australia)

Best for: Adventurers and reef-break lovers.

Top breaks:

  • Trigg and Scarborough (warm-ups)

  • Geraldton (punchy power)

  • Gnaraloo (only for experienced surfers)

  • Exmouth (turquoise perfection)

One of Australia’s most scenic coastal drives, these are a bit less frequent on Imoova so when they do come up they get snapped up FAST.

Tips for Surfing While Relocating

  • If you're taking your own board, check if your camper has roof racks before booking.

  • Use marine forecasts like SwellMap or MagicSeaweed.

  • Plan for extra fuel, chasing swell often means detours.

  • Always rinse boards before storing inside the van (protects the rental deposit!)
