The Broch is a long, fun, left pointbreak at the northwest end of the beach surfed by a keen crew of locals; it doesn?t work that often so be respectful.
There are various beachbreak peaks all the way round to the southeast end at Philorth, which is offshore in a S. Good banks by rivermouth. Fraserburgh is home to the Broch Surf Club and a long surf tradition. Park off Harbour Road for the north end of the beach and access through the Water of Philorth picnic site for the south.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
