Cumbos

Cumbos works on southeast swell primarily, though southwest groundswell can also produce rideable waves when the wind direction cooperates. The break responds well to offshore winds from the northwest to west. Wave windows are best early in the day before northerly winds pick up; early morning offers cleaner conditions. Low to mid tide is optimal.

The broader Lorne area has a documented surf history dating to at least the 1960s, when Lorne Point hosted the 1967 Australian Surf Titles and again in 1970 when it hosted the World Surfing Titles opening ceremony. Notable local surfers from that era include Warren Powell, Greg Brown, and Grant Price, though I found no specific competitions or notable sessions attributed to Cumbos itself rather than the larger Lorne breaks.

I could not find specific access details, parking information, or detailed hazard descriptions unique to Cumbos. The break appears lightly documented relative to nearby Lorne Point, which suggests it may be less frequently surfed or less prominent in local surf culture.
