In summer, when everywhere is flat, Ethels can produce small intense waves over a slabby reef in front of the beached shipwreck. Usually right but can have a real sucky left in the corner of the beach. It's often too rippy and disorganised, with horrible clean-up sets, but when it's on, it's a crowd magnet!
New stairs have done away with the dangerous cliff scramble.

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.
