The most consistent spot on this SW exposed coast is Gunnamatta, home of many contests for its power and shape. A webcam looks out from the 2nd car park (pay in summer), focusing on fast peaks whose quality is dictated by the equally fast flowing rips that shape the sandbanks and channels. Takes a SW swell, NE winds and anything up to double overhead on the push. Since Nov ?98, surfers have been demonstrating to get the sewage outfall closed.
Check Pearce's in Sorrento, Rye and St Andrews for more options between here and Portsea.

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.
