The Wave

Use a bigger east or northeast pulse and the cleanest west or southwest-offshore wind you can get, but expect the spot to stay fickle because it is heavily sheltered.

Mid tide is a useful read when the harbour-mouth bar stands up; the main question is whether the size and angle are enough to overcome the shelter and the rips.
