Gunnamatta is one of the closest surf beaches to Melbourne, but it is not for the novice surfer. It can sometimes be treacherous, so make sure you ask around in the area and check the conditions thoroughly if you are unsure about going in. While best conditions come with a southwesterly swell and northeast wind, rips here can be dangerous. A kiosk is open during school holiday periods to help restore your energy after a solid session in the water.
