Scaborough surf guide

Scarborough is a beach break located in Australia, popular among surfers looking for some fun waves. It offers a mix of lefts and rights, making it suitable for different riding styles. The area is known for its straightforward sandbars, attracting surfers of all levels, especially during the summer months when the conditions can be more favorable.

The surf at Scarborough is best when there's a north-east swell, which is the optimal direction for getting the best waves. The spot can handle swell sizes starting from 1ft (about 0.3 meters), and on good days, surfers can expect both lefts and rights to roll in. During low to mid to high tide, the waves break mostly over sand, which is perfect for beginners looking to practice. Winds from the northwest are preferable for cleaner, more manageable waves.

Scarborough is a great spot for beginners to get comfortable in the water. With a range of wave types all happening on the beach, it's a perfect place to learn. It’s also a spot where you can just chill and enjoy the surf without too much hassle, making it a decent choice for a laid-back session.
