An E or NE swell will produce long punchy lefts, which are hollow on take-off and in sections down the line. S or SE closes out. Low incoming tide is best.
A strong north-to-south drift means a constant paddle to stay on the tight take-off area. Entering on the north side of the jetty and walking back up after a wave helps to spread the concentrated crowd of dialed-in locals.
Limited residential roadside parking, which the police patrol heavily. Tags loosely enforced by lenient lifeguards who surf.

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.
