The Wave

East-northeast wind is the clean lane, west-southwest swell is the main signal, and low to mid tide is the better read.

Lineup Guide

The reef is shallow and rocky, crowds can build when it is on, and access is the usual Nullarbor mix of distance, dirt-road driving, and a short walk.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
