Wind&Waves
-
It’s mainly a summer season spot, December to February, with a decent northeast wind blowing in at between 15 and 20 knots or thereabouts, and as it is a thermal wind it tends to build in strength through the day. The water is clean, and the surface has either small waves up to about 1m high or larger ones up to about 3m. The waves can have a bit of power and speed, and there is an occasional good beach break.

Facilities
-
As with many beaches in the state, lifeguards patrol during the summer. There are showers and public toilets, and a shop where gear can be purchased. There are also food outlets close by. Parking is right behind the beach.
-
Safety
-
There are some shallow, submerged rocks close to the launching area and the break, so take care to avoid them. This place can also collect a few jellyfish so try not to get stung.
