Forecast
As of:
Hidden poles and a shifting sandbar mean the primary peak can migrate along the beach-look for rusted wooden poles as a visual reference and expect short walks to find the best takeoff.
Works best on an E-SE groundswell with lighter ENE offshore breezes.
Low-mid tide sharpens the peaks while strong onshore or long-period southerly winds clean out the shape.
