Newport Beach has a couple of rock bottomed spots which are in plain view of Pittwater Rd, attracting a hefty crowd to both the The Peak towards the north end and The Reef breaking outside off the sea pool at the southern end. Sand builds up around a platform reef and all swells will trip over it, with NE-E often being the best to bring the favoured lefts to life. Moves in and out with the tide but always breaks with a bit of oomph, offering tubes, hooks and cutback walls in one short package.
Could be Sydney's most crowded spot and the list of local rippers is headed by Tom Carroll.

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.
