 Access

Car park is situated adjacent to the Great Ocean Road a couple of km's before you reach Lorne. You don't even have to get out of you car to check out the surf. An easier paddle out is achieved by using the channel to the west of the peak and paddling around the back of the line-up.

 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

Cathedrals is one of the best spots on the West Coast and as a result does get really crowded, especially on weekends. It offers fast "down-the-line" type waves with hollow sections. It is primarily a winter time wave, requiring a solid swell to work (it picks up less swell than the waves in the Torquay-Bells region). The wave is afforded considerable protection from SW winds by Lorne point so can often be very clean here when other spots are blown out.

Atmosphere

Usually a very competitive place to surf - similar to what you'd expect at Winkipop. Don't surf here unless your ability matches that of the wave.
