Lackan Bay surf guide

Lackan Bay is a surf spot that features empty peaks along a scenic beach, providing some nice space for surfers looking to catch some waves. The bay is situated in a location that offers good shelter from strong west winds, making it a decent choice on breezy days. You can find a car park on the western side of the bay, which is convenient for getting to the surf with your gear.

This spot works best with a north swell direction, but you can also find some fun waves coming from the northwest and northeast. It handles swell sizes starting from about 2ft (0.6m), which is generally good for beginners. The waves break over sand and can produce both left and right waves, giving you a bit of variety as you paddle out. Low tide is the preferred time to surf here since it tends to create better conditions for riding those mellow beach breaks.

Lackan Bay is a beginner-friendly spot, so if you’re just starting out or looking for an easy day on the water, this is a good pick. Remember to check the wind and tide conditions before heading out to maximize your time on the water!
