Best on northeast or east swell with south-southwest offshore wind.
Treat the tide window as broad, but mid tide usually gives the cleanest shape through the bars.

Waddy Point is the rocky K'gari headland north of Orchid Beach, where a point line and the adjoining beach stretch can peel on east to northeast swell with south-southwest offshores. It is a remote island mission with 4WD access, camping nearby, and a shoreline that stays comparatively quiet outside the holiday peaks.
