The light NW left some lump on the swell, even after the wind fell light about 4pm. Just myself out and about shoulder-high waves. It was improving in terms of size and shape but it got too dark to surf. Clear skies and mild temperatures for July.

Light onshore with 7 surfers in at low tide. Shoulder high and not great shape because of the wind, but surfable. Cloudy with spells of rain.

Building clean swell was only waist-high when I arrived but soon increased to shoulder high on the sets and tending head-high by dusk. Apart from two surfers at the beach-break, nobody else in. A rare treat. Very light offshore. Overcast but dry.

Smaller swell than Friday and the local SE wind was blowing stronglu cross off and generating a wind-chop at the point. Just 6 out here. I surfed the middle of the bay instead, where the waves looked biggest. Still wind-affected but some good shape waves, generally about shoulder-high.

Excellent conditions on Friday am with about 15 surfers at the point. Light offshore with shoulder to head-high waves. It got hollow on the gravel bar. Mellower very long lefts on the inside bar as the tide came in. Cloud and rain slowly clearing.

Overhead clean set waves with light wnds sounds ideal but there was a very strong sidehore current and a lot of the surf was dumpy. Just a handful of surfers out and having short sessions. Ruby Bay was better shape and smaller but the road was closed a long way short of the campground so nobody was surfing the point.

Wednesday afternoon offered mostly shoulder-high set waves though it was still head-high just as we paddled out at 1pm. The easterly stayed the right side of offshore so although it was on the smaller side, it was ok. Mostly cloudy with brief drizzle and the odd sunny spell.

Small but with more tide it could be time to teach your toddler to surf or take your longboard and coffin to the beach.

the waves are really choppy and there's a gnarly rip that pulls you off the point and all the way down the beach. don't bother going out its not surfable

The light easterly breeze fell almost calm later afternoon and set waves were shoulder to head-high and generally dropping as the tide came in. The shorter period made it break less straight, which was good.. Sunny. 3 surfers out.
