Lunan Bay surf guide

Lunan Bay is a scenic surf spot known for its beautiful setting and varying surf conditions. It's located on the Scottish coast, offering a nice mix of waves depending on the swell direction and tide. The bay has a beach break, which can be pretty fun but is also known to shift, so keep your eyes open for the best peaks. The atmosphere here is laid-back, making it a good place for surfers looking for a less crowded surf experience.

The surf at Lunan Bay works best with north-east or south-east swells, handling sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). You can find both left and right waves breaking over the sand, which is great for beginners looking to get their skills up. The spot operates well at low, mid, and high tide, but be aware that bad rips can occur, especially around the rivermouth during dropping tides. If you pick the right conditions, you could catch some decent rides.

When you head to Lunan Bay, keep an eye out for salmon nets and be cautious of unexploded WWII bombs that might still be in the area. Parking is available behind the dunes, but be sure to park considerately to respect the natural surroundings. Enjoy your time in the water!
