Lossiemouth Surf Guide
This long, flat, uniform stretch of sand winds away for six miles east from the rivermouth breakwater. Needs a decent swell to produce waves here but can be fun with lefts and right peaks. Beach is sand at rivermouth end then becomes pebbles further along. There are fun low tide lefts by the breakwater wall but access is tricky as the footbridge is closed. Change in car park and paddle across river to access beach.
