Culla Bay surf guide

Culla Bay is a small bay located on the west coast of Benbeculla. This spot can offer some decent waves when the conditions are right, especially with a good north-west swell. It’s a scenic area that attracts surfers looking for a more laid-back vibe, away from the more crowded spots.

The waves here can be fun for intermediate surfers, as Culla Bay handles swell sizes starting at about 2ft (0.6 meters) and can get decent action. The optimal swell direction is from the northwest, but it can also pick up some waves coming from the southwest and north. You’ll find both left and right waves breaking over sand, making it suitable for surfers looking to practice their skills. The best time to hit the water is during low to mid and high tides, especially with a south-east wind blowing to create the right conditions.

Keep in mind that the surf here isn’t always consistent, so it’s a good idea to check the forecast before heading out. It’s a spot that works best for those with some experience, so come ready to catch some waves and enjoy the atmosphere!
