From Ocean Grove to Avon, concentrated jetties can provide hollow waves. Fickle, shifting sandbars are usually smaller than breaks south of here, but it copes well with a moderate swell.
The jetties break up the drift and paddle-outs are easier.

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.
