 Additional Information

Broadsea Point is one of the gnarliest breaks round about the Fraserburgh area and is only surfed by a few hardcore locals who know the spot well. The wave is essentially a left (or a right for the VERY brave) which comes out of deep water before unloading on a very shallow rock ledge. Takeoffs at the peak are very difficult although if you do take off deep and make it you could set yourself up for a tube that you could park a car in. The wave only begins working during a decent northerly or NW swell and will rarely close out regardless of how big it gets. BP is generally best at mid to low tide, although the bigger it gets the higher the tide that you can surf it.
