Let me help you plan your Great Ocean Road trip
I am here to help you explore the Great Ocean Road region, but I’m still learning and can make mistakes. For the best local advice, visit a visitor information centre. This is a large region, so plan for travel distances and your length of stay.
Hello











Welcome to Dawn Surf Co., an affiliated surf school with Surfing Victoria and a licensed tour operator with Parks Victoria. Based on Victoria’s iconic Surf Coast, they specialise in adult-only surf lessons in small, personalised groups.
Their mission is to create an uplifting, safe, and inspiring environment where adults can learn to surf with confidence. They teach you to ride waves and read the ocean, focusing on technique, safety, and faster progress.
They run lessons across the beautiful beaches of Anglesea, Torquay, and Lorne, selecting the best conditions each day to ensure calm, crowd-free sessions.
Their experienced surf coaches guide you through surf theory, pop-up technique, ocean awareness, and in-water coaching, ensuring you build skills and confidence from your first lesson. With smaller groups, you’ll enjoy detailed feedback and one-on-one attention.
Each session includes premium surf gear (boards and wetsuits) and is designed with care, safety, and a focus on fun. They offer a range of surf programs, from one-off taster lessons to multi-day intensives and private coaching, all structured to help you progress quickly and confidently.
Dawn Surf Co. provides a supportive, high-quality experience on the Great Ocean Road that balances learning, exploration, and connection with the ocean.
Join the, and discover why the Surf Coast is one of the best places in Australia to learn to surf.
