Scarborough Bay

Just down the road from Whitsands, Scarborough is a small bay with good parking that gets over crowded very easily. An excellent starboard jumping and one hit wave riding in a NW. Get here early to make the most of it.


Beach faces: W/SW

Best wind direction: SE with a big swell, NW gives cross-on starboard.

Worst wind direction: All others.

Tide: Low tide is the best bet.

What’s on the bottom?: Sand

Any hazards: A big, rocky, kelp point on the left. There are also plenty of rocks on the right. It is quite a small bay, and gets overcrowded very easily.

Other water users: Mainly windsurfers.
