Surf Break: Lunan Bay

Lunan Bay on the East Coast is a sheltered beach and point break that has pretty consitent surf. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. Offshore winds blow from the west. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the best swell direction is from the northeast. Waves at the beach break both left and right and there is also a left hand point break. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It very rarely gets crowded here. Beware of rips and rocks.

Secret spot? We can hide it!

IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.
