Nigg Bay is a pretty laid-back surf spot that attracts a decent number of surfers looking for a solid session. It's located along a stretch of coast that can handle a good mix of swell directions, making it a versatile choice for those in the area. The bay features a mix of boulder reefs at either end and some beach break peaks in the middle, giving surfers some options depending on the conditions. Parking is available in the car park near the beach or up on the hill to the south.

The best time to hit Nigg Bay is when the swell is coming from the NorthEast or SouthEast, ideally when it's around 2ft (approximately 0.6 meters) or bigger. The waves here can break over boulders and sand, with a mix of left and right waves available. If you enjoy surfing at different tide levels, you’re in luck! This spot works well at low, mid, and high tides. Just remember that it generally needs a bigger swell to really get going, but when it does, it can be a fun ride.

Even though the surf can be decent, it’s a good idea to check conditions before heading out since they can change. It’s a suitable spot for surfers looking to escape the crowd while still having a chance to catch some fun waves. So, if you're in the area and the swell is right, Nigg Bay might just be worth a visit.
