Cat Bay

Cat Bay is a surf spot located in Victoria, Australia. This spot provides both left and right waves. The bottom consists of coral reef and sand, making it important to surf at medium to high tide to avoid exposed rocks. The wave quality is considered normal, and it is suitable for beginners. The waves break regularly and have a length of less than 50 meters. The crowd is generally empty, but it’s important to be aware of the local surfers, especially the older ones with longboards, as they can be quite assertive in the water. The atmosphere is generally okay, and the locals are nice, but it’s advisable to call out ‘party wave’ when a set comes in to avoid any misunderstandings. To reach Cat Bay, follow the road past the penguin parade and Summerlands Road, and continue past the first car park at Right Point to the next car park, which is Cat Bay. Be cautious of the old blokes with their 10′ mals, as they can be quite aggressive. Nearby surf spots include Right Point, Summerlands West, Flynns Reef, Summerlands East, and Berry’s Beach. Always check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded and assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
