Today

Mostly small but maybe a late afternoon slight lift in size. Winds best before this though.

Not too much to get excited about today as WSW mid-period swell eases, before we perhaps see a renewal towards dark. Mostly about waist high for exposed breaks, perhaps with a few slow chest high sets for most exposed outer reefs and beachies. Then perhaps a few more consistent chest to perhaps head high sets just before dark.

NW winds this morning for cleanest conditions, then going a bit more W to even WSW later afternoon chopping up exposed beachies and outer reefs just as swell builds.

Lorne Surf Guide

A sheltered point inside Louttit Bay offering small, soft waves. Ideal during large swell when smaller lines wrap into the bay. Highly protected from SW winds and passing fronts. A great option for all skill levels, with a preference for mid to low tide.

Sets typically break on the first point, though larger winter swells can shift the take-off zones. Expect a laid-back atmosphere with a mix of locals and visitors.
