Surf Forecast  Arbroath

Arbroath surfspot characteristics

More about Arbroath surfspot

3km of very sheltered beachbreak south of town and the left point at north end has potential. Needs a large N/NE or a small SE swell.

General: Not a regional classic but to the south of the town there's a fickle left point that breaks in big swells, running from the point onto the beach. There are banks with predominantly lefts along the more than 2 mile stretch of sand, but closes out when big, when it will also be rippy. Tides: All tides but best low to mid. Size: Thigh to head high. Wind: NW Swell: Big NE, E, small SE. Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Easy when small, rippy when bigger. Spot Rating: Needs a magic balance of big enough to bend into the bay, but not too big to close-out. Fun on its day.

Any and all when small.

Parking on the Queens drive and walk. Access points to the beach further south limited due to railway lines.

Park in Town

December - February as needs a big northerly or small southeasterly.
