Spey Bay surf guide

Spey Bay is a surf spot located along a long stretch of beach, known for its river mouth that can help shape the waves a bit. It’s not the most popular spot, but it can be worth checking out when conditions are right. The area is a bit remote, so it's a good idea to know what you're getting into before heading out. Keep in mind the access to the middle part of the bay can be tricky because of the nearby firing range.

The surf at Spey Bay is mainly beach break, with waves that can work on both left and right. The ideal swell direction is from the north, and it can handle swell sizes starting at about 1ft (0.3 meters), making it suitable for different skill levels. For the best experience, you’ll want to hit it during low to high tide, with south winds being preferable. Just remember that the river mouth can add some shape to the waves, so it's worth paying attention to those conditions.

Parking is available in the village, which is convenient. Just keep an eye on the weather and check the forecast to pick your day right. Spey Bay might not be a prime surfing destination, but sometimes it can surprise you if everything lines up correctly.
