Stormrider Description
Occasional long lefts off the southern side of the pier on a NE swell. Mid tide incoming will see steeper, hollower, shifty peaks that will get a bit mushy at dead high if it's not very big. Low tide will close out over 4ft (1.3m).
Restrictions include no surfing within 200ft (66m) of the pier and no surfing from 10-6pm in summer. The hazard list includes jetskis and jellyfish, plus stormwater runoff.

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.
