Lineup Insights

The Wave

When surfable the spot cleans up on firm W-NW groundswells with offshore E/NE winds.

Ben Weston is remote - plan a boat pickup and expect a steep hike and minimal rescue options.

Rocks, strong rips and occasional large predatory sharks make consequences serious.

Lineup Guide

Fashions best at low-mid and on a falling tide when the reef produces quicker, punchier lefts and rights.
