Hazards

ROCKS Scattered rocks near the breakwater. Sandy seabed in the main surf zone — stay away from the breakwater ends.
RIP Breakwater can concentrate a current near its ends — the main surf zone in the middle stays gentle, ideal for lessons.
LOCALS School-heavy, beginner-friendly crowd — one of the more welcoming city beaches for newcomers.
SWIMMERS City beach — share space with swimmers and paddle boarders in summer.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid to high rising · low tide exposes reef dangerously
Peak season Oct–Apr · E–NE swell · City beach proximity makes any session easy to organise
Swell key E–NE swell · Breakwater nearby creates some shape · Best in autumn–winter
Level Beginner to intermediate · Surf schools on-site · Perfect for lessons
Dawn patrol Any time — surf schools open from 09:00. Autumn mornings before the sea breeze are best.
