Live updates
South-southwest is the clean offshore lane.
Northeast swell is the main trigger and it needs size to wrap through the harbour entrance.
The takeoff is heavy below sea level and the bottom can have concrete lumps, metal, old tracks, shopping trolleys, and old car bodies.
Access is instant from the breakwall at the entrance.
For tide, focus on whether the entrance wrap is standing up and whether current over the breakwall is manageable.
Watch current, rips, pollution, and sharks.
Stop guessing and start surfing. WaveWise analyzes live data to find your best upcoming sessions so you spend less time planning and more time paddling out.
