Heading back to the east side of Cape Otway through the beautiful National Park to Apollo Bay, where there is a right off the harbour breakwall and outside jetty that can handle moderate size and will line up a bit better with some E in the swell. Can peel a nice line during the low tide window. There are also some nicely protected beachies perfect for beginners and escaping large, stormy conditions. Around the headland, Marengo offers a brace of more exposed reefs, a righthand point and some changeable, small swell beachies.
It's by no means the best break around, but there is always someone on it when it is breaking.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
