new years day
the best surf i have seen at st.andrews was on new years day. there was a fair few people in. cold but well worth the numb feet and hands. if your near st.andrews come over a give it a go. surf can be good or none at all. this season has been a good one!!! see you out there!!!!

St Andrews
Being a LOCAL here, I've surfed St Andrews for 12 years, and I can tell you that whoever wrote the above description is hallucinating (badly). I can scarcely fathom such a ridiculous account of this place!!!.Basically it's like this: East sands has a selection of banks that work on various tides, swell, wind ect. Generally average in quality with an occasionally good walling left at the east end of the beach which is best at around mid tide(has to be clean for this to be good). From mid tide+ at the pier end there is a punchy hollow bank (L + R), it is prone to closing out, but can give you a fast wall or barrel in the right conditions. As for the reef. It's at the end of the pier and is VERY rarely worth surfing, keeping little form or power. The (occasional) left will hold itself in clean swell up to 6ft.

St Andrews sucks
Dont bother trying to surf here it's pants!. One of the worst places you could surf on the east coast. Big wide open bay with shapeless waves. Cant believe folk say this place is good!.
