Gunnamatta is a popular surf spot located on the Southern Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. It’s known for being one of the more consistent spots along this SW exposed coast, making it a regular choice for both local and visiting surfers. The area is fairly accessible, with parking available, but keep in mind that you might have to pay during the summer months. The waves here can get quite powerful, which is part of what attracts surfers to this beach.

This spot excels with a SW swell, handling sizes from 1ft (0.3m) up to double overhead when the conditions are right. The waves break over sand and can roll both left and right, offering variety depending on the day. For the best experience, surfers should look for NE winds, which help shape the waves nicely. Low, mid, or high tides can all work at Gunnamatta, so there’s usually something good going on regardless of the tide level.

If you're looking for other surf options, there are spots like Pearce's in Sorrento, Rye, and St Andrews nearby that can be worth checking out. They provide additional variety between Gunnamatta and Portsea, making it easy to find a wave that suits your style or the conditions of the day.
