Victoria Bay surf guide

Victoria Bay is a surf spot located near George, known for its beautiful scenery and decent waves. It features a right point break that zips over boulders, offering a fun ride in a compact bay. The area is surrounded by steep cliffs, making it a picturesque place to catch some waves. While it's a popular choice, especially in the summer, you can often find yourself waiting for a turn due to the crowd.

The surf here works best with a moderate long period south to southwest swell. The waves handle sizes starting from about 2 feet (0.6 meters), rolling in nicely over the boulders and sand. For the best experience, a light north wind is preferable, and the waves can be surfed at low, mid, or high tide. It’s mostly suitable for intermediate surfers who are looking for some vertical walls to jam off. Just keep in mind that the spot doesn’t do well with southwest winds or too much swell.

While it can get busy, the vibe is generally friendly, and you’ll find a mix of locals and visitors enjoying the surf. Make sure to be patient during peak times, as the take-off can get a bit crowded because of the concentrated take-off zone on the rock. If you time it right, you might just score some quality waves!
