The Wave
North wind is the clean lane, south swell is the main trigger, and mid tide rising is the best broad window, with low tide also workable.
The spot can get busy, and rips, sharks, undertow, and shifting channels all matter.

Japs
Japs is the powerful Logans Beach beach break just east of the river in Warrnambool, part of the town's surf network and known for hollow lefts, the occasional right, and proper barrel potential when the banks line up. It is a classic town-access beachie rather than a remote mission, and the stronger days show up on south swell with north wind. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Japs in Victoria.
