Double Island Point is a safe cyclone swell bet for extremely long rights by the lighthouse and occasional lefts on the beachbreak. Jelly legs and arms dictates walking back decreasing the chance of meeting the abundant sharks. Not usually crowded thanks to the difficult access. Reliable, local tour operators can provide the necessary 4WD transport. Cherry Venture shipwreck can be the exception to the close-out rule along the beach highway beside the Cooloola National Park.
Sharks, rips and isolation make this an intermediates plus area.

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.
