Apollo Bay is a picturesque surf spot located on the eastern side of Cape Otway. It's a popular destination for surfers looking to enjoy a mix of waves and a beautiful natural setting. The area features a right-hander off the harbor breakwall and the surrounding jetty, making it a decent option for those hitting the water. While not the most consistent break, there are always surfers around, especially when it’s working.

This spot can handle swell sizes up to about 3 feet (0.9 meters) and is best when the swell comes from the SouthWest or SouthEast. During low tide, the waves can line up a bit better, offering some nice peels. It often breaks over a mix of uneven reef and sand, making for varied conditions. The preferred wind direction is from the West, which helps clean things up. A good choice for intermediate surfers, Apollo Bay can be a fun ride, especially with the right conditions.

If you're looking for a break from bigger swells, there are also sheltered beach breaks nearby for beginners, along with Marengo which features more exposed reefs and some small swell beachies. This means there are options for different skill levels depending on the day. Just keep an eye on the tide and wind for the best experience!
