Lady Bay's long beach in front of Warrnambool, where the main beach and the Flume are the learner spots. More exposed, powerful surf is at Granny's Grave. SE swell with a N to NNE wind works at any tide the banks allow, and summer is often flat. Beginners should start at the Flume on a small day near the Warrnambool surf club, watching for the strong rips.
