Flinders Beach Surf Guide

Flinders offers multiple breaks, with Big Left and Cyril’s being the standouts. Big Left is a heavy, outside left-hand reef that picks up plenty of swell—and wind. On larger groundswells it becomes a powerful wave capable of long hold-downs, and it’s highly wind-affected unless offshore.

Cyril’s is more protected, more consistent, and generally punchier, offering high-performance sections suited to advanced surfers.
