Higgins is well protected from N winds, but consequently doesn?t receive any swell from the north either. Handles decent size, particularly if it's a SE swell, which can make for some shapely and powerful peaks. Stops breaking either side of high tide.
High consistency means Higgins is often crowded. Rips are common, and locals report occasional whiffs of residential sewage. Parking in summer is limited to pay carparks or resident permits, while winter is free on the roadside.

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.
