This pristine beach is rapidly disappearing as the ocean is now making it into the sub-tropical forest at high tide. Either side of high tide, walled up peaks will appear, offering occasional barrels when it's offshore. The area in front of the lighthouse, which had to be moved due to the erosion, is generally best.
Beware strong currents at either end of the island, also many underwater tree stumps and the odd floating palm tree in the line-up. Even if it's flat, Hunting Island State Park is worth checking out. Full facilities include a good campsite.

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.
