Gullane Bay on the East Coast is a sheltered beach and point break that does not work very often. Winter is the optimum time of year for surfing here. Offshore winds are from the southeast. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the northeast. Rarely crowded here. Take care of the strong rips here.
