Local Knowledge
Freshwater is by far the best wave on the Island providing quality rights that can peel for over 100m. However, the bay is a fickle place that only works a handful of times in an average winter and needs very particular conditions to come to life. When Freshwater does work it will be busy with Island surfers who have waited patiently for the place to turn on so don't expect a warm welcome if your not local, but as with anywhere, be respectful, polite and don't try and dominate the line up and your wheels will still be on your car when you get out.

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.
