Hazards

RESTORATION Beach is under ecological restoration from historic mining. Respect any restricted zones — don't disturb the revegetation work.
RIP Bay currents build laterally on NE swell events — stay aware of your position, though this bay is rarely crowded enough to lose track easily.
LOCALS Almost always uncrowded — one of the quietest breaks on this coast, so there's little lineup pressure.
CURRENT Bay can produce lateral currents on NE swell events. Stay aware of your position.

Local knowledge

Best tide Mid to high rising · low tide exposes reef dangerously
Peak season Oct–Mar · NE swells · Unique black sand · Almost always uncrowded
Swell key NE–E swell · Exposed bay · Picks up more swell than sheltered coves
Level Beginner to intermediate · Sandy bottom · Unusual and memorable setting
Dawn patrol Any time — almost always empty. The black sand reflects sunrise dramatically. Bring a camera.
