Ringed months are the ones riders and schools name: May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct.

Nothing has been measured or modelled for this place: twelve months and no figure in any of them. The months riders name are all there is.

Riders and schools name these months. The model reads lower here, and both are shown rather than averaged.

Wind on the beach

  • cross-onshore.
  • NE and ENE trades come in side-onshore along a shoreline that runs roughly east-west.
  • NE under about 50-55 degrees is the clean, easy launch; ENE puts the treed point directly upwind of the launch, kills the ground wind and makes both getting out and coming back awkward.

What the spot record warns about

  • reef close to shore
  • strong midday wind building quickly
  • airport proximity/aircraft noise
  • Sharp coral reef and rocks, especially near/over reef and at low tide
  • Weird Wave area between Lowers and Uppers can break unexpectedly and create difficult escape conditions
  • Stronger currents around reef/wave zones
