Sheltered, inconsistent left point that only breaks in the biggest winter storms. Swells have to wrap in 90º to the point, which is offshore in SW winds. Sketchy vertical take-off in front of the rocks, a fast, hollow section then the wave fattens out into deeper water. A rare sight. Strong currents.
Car park next to the fort on the headland overlooking the wave.

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.
