Brandon Bay

Updated Sun 11 Oct, 19:36

Miles of sand in a big bay facing north-north-west, with lefts and rights from waist high to overhead at every tide. The banks are fairly shapeless and the waves weak, so it suits learners and improvers on a longboard, mid-length or fish. It needs a north-westerly swell and a southerly or south-easterly wind, though the curve of the bay gives options in most winds. Usually empty, so don’t surf alone, and watch for rips as it builds.
