When to Go
You can use this location all year depending on weather. Spring to autumn is popular. Winter can be hard as it's cold and desolate. Nice weather in summer.
What to Expect
This spot works well when tide is on ebb, low tide is absolutely awesome as you are effectively kiting in a lagoon, and the water is like a mirror. As the tide drops, various banks of sand/shingle become exposed (good fun for jumping over) eventually limiting the available area to either left or right of the peninsular. Surfing further out does not pose a problem as you are effectively in a massive bay. It is not recommended that the estuary is used on an incoming tide as you will rapidly travel into the river mouth. Inexperienced riders should stay away from the river mouth/current, there is plenty of space to the south of the shingle bar.
