Forecast
As of:
Access is via Shelly Beach and the headland car park, with a short walk around the corner.
The reef is rocky and unforgiving, parking is limited, and the break can get crowded and territorial when the swell is up.
Mid to high tide is the safer window; low tide can expose more ledge and rock.
Rips, rocks, localism, and sharks are part of the hazard set.
