Southwest offshore is the cleanest setup.
East swell is the main driver, and the beach has no real shelter from cross-shore winds.

The tide is not a major lever here, so the useful read is whether the sandbar and current lines are holding shape after each pulse.
Use the formal parking and patrolled frontage at Tugun Surf Life Saving Club, and keep an eye on topographic rips along the seawall.
