Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert

Type: Ocean

Water type: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Small wave

Water hazards: Rocks

Water quality: Clean

Infos: Normally pretty flat - has a slight chop in high winds but can have a large swell breaking on the easterly point in the right conditions (which only occur 2 or 3 times per year) and can rival a good point break. Water is always cold. It does not suffer from turbulence due to high cliffs which both Peasebay and Seacliff do (despite being better surf breaks). The current tends to move from west to east particularly on outgoing tide but there are no unusual strong ripe currents unless there is a large swell. Very few other kiters or windsurfers. The reef to the far right of bay can provide the most remarkable right hander point break (long board wave) on a large southerly swell.

Beach type & size: Sand - Tidal

Infos: Gullane Beach is a crescent shaped bay with dunes and a generally sandy bottom with the occasional rock, good for beginners with easy access from the public car park.

Identified hazards: Rocks

Beachgoer: July, August

Weather specificities: Cold most of the year 5mm titanium suit recommended; winter sessions require boots and gloves. You can ride all year round if you are hard enough.

Wind specificities: The wind is consistent all year round. Worst months July/August (but warmest), best in September and October. The wind can be gusty and build quickly but sessions can last as long as the light does. Best direction is Westerly. Southerly is a no go (but there are plenty of nearby locations that work in this wind (Peffer Sands and Belhaven Bay). The bay curves making several directions sideshore. Really good in a WNW. Gullane works best with the prevailing westerly winds.
