Been surfing about a year now. Started there and haven't tried anywhere else yet. It's a totally safe bet for beginners if it's not too messy. Sand only on this beach, no rocks protruding from water, Nothing to hurt yourself with (except your board!)
There are 2 car parks you can use. Both are in really close proximity to the beach. Plenty of ice cream and chip shops to get munch. Few hotels and bars.
Lossiemouth is a 5 minute drive to closest city (Elgin) More than enough places to go out or stay the night if you find Lossie too small.
If you're after lessons then there is a surf school that's local. Enough equipment for a group.
Overall, great place for any level of surfing, providing the conditions are right, as with any break.”

Kudos to everyone who helped us debug this over the past 3 months.
Be sure to click on the Advanced Surf option to see extra details about the sea-state. Look out for crossing swells and short period local wind swells and chop that will often spoil a groundswell even if the wind is perfect. As yet there is no allowance for this in the swell rating. This is something we are working on.
