Farm Bay

Farm Bay is primarily a surfing spot with a fairly consistent beach-break character on the Atlantic side. For the best chances of getting usable waves, plan around low tide and aim for northern swell direction while the west wind helps keep conditions cleaner. However, conditions can be dominated by blown-out surf a large share of the time, and the bottom is rocky. Combined with isolation and limited rescue capacity in the area, the spot is best treated as expert territory. Before going, confirm current exclusion-zone hazard status and access protocols with the relevant authorities, and be aware that entry may require permits. Sources also note that clean days are relatively rare (with a high blown percentage), so even during the best month—September—you should expect variability. Bring appropriate self-reliance gear and avoid underestimating the hazard environment.
