Red Strand (Dirk Bay) surf guide

Surf: Very protected bay that comes into its own in winter when the breaks further west are maxing-out. Waves break on an unsurfable outside reef and reform into hollow peaks. Can have strong rips. Directions: Follow signs to Red strand or Galley Head off R598 Environment: Park by the beach.
