Lurline Bay is known as a go-to spot for experienced surfers, especially when the nearby beaches are closed out. It’s a rocky area that can deliver some serious waves when the conditions are right. The scenery might not be as pristine as some other spots, but it has its own rugged charm that surfers appreciate.
This spot really shines when there’s a solid southeast or south swell rolling in. Lurline Bay handles swell sizes up to 6ft (about 1.8 meters) quite well. The best waves break over uneven reef, making for unique and challenging conditions. If you’re looking to ride right-hand waves, this is your place. For optimal conditions, a low tide is preferable, and you’ll get the best results with west winds working in your favor.
Keep in mind that Lurline Bay is suited for expert surfers only. If you’re not comfortable with rocky and tricky breaks, it’s probably best to look for easier options. It's all about reading the waves and knowing your limits here, so be prepared before you paddle out.
