Blue Moons

Blue Moons is a surf spot in western Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It’s generally known as a coastal surf break rather than a heavily developed beach destination, so conditions can be more exposed to local weather and swell than at sheltered metropolitan beaches.

Quick description

• Location: West of Melbourne, along the VIC coast
• Type: Surf break / beach break area
• Best for: Surfers looking for a more local, less crowded session when conditions line up
• Conditions: Can vary a lot with swell direction, wind, and tide
• Crowds: Typically lighter than the better-known Melbourne metro surf beaches

What to expect

• Wave quality: Usually dependent on the day; it can produce fun waves, but it’s not known as a consistently world-class break
• Winds: Offshore winds will improve shape; onshore winds can make it messy quickly
• Tide sensitivity: Like many Victorian beach breaks, it may work better on a particular tide range depending on sand movement
• Hazards: Be mindful of rips, shifting sandbanks, and changing coastal conditions

Nearby vibe

The western Melbourne coastline tends to have a more rugged, open-ocean feel than the bayside beaches closer to the city, with the surf experience often shaped by weather and swell windows rather than guaranteed year-round conditions.
