Lorne Surf Guide
A sheltered point inside Louttit Bay offering small, soft waves. Ideal during large swell when smaller lines wrap into the bay. Highly protected from SW winds and passing fronts. A great option for all skill levels, with a preference for mid to low tide.
Sets typically break on the first point, though larger winter swells can shift the take-off zones. Expect a laid-back atmosphere with a mix of locals and visitors.
