Why Riders Love It
Best time of the year is summer when the prevailing SE wind patterns set up the sea breeze.

Be ready for very strong wind at this time, sometimes it comes in and sometimes not.
When to Go
In summer the water is comfortable, sometimes a wetsuit makes it that much nicer but some people ride without.
What to Expect
Waves, beach break, small to medium and nice waves, onshore. Can be heavy especially in winter. Tides in spring, summer and autumn are good, fluctuate more towards winter. Summer tides are best. Waves are excellent ramps, the longer and stronger the side onshore the more scalloped they get, but it is sideonshore and perfect set up so enjoy those waves.
