The Wave

South-southeast winds clean it up best, WNW swell is the main trigger, and mid tide is the sweet spot.

Lineup Guide

Use the Rapid Creek / Kite Corner access off Casuarina Drive, expect rocks, rips, box jellyfish and crocodile risk, and keep the session expectations modest because the lineup is usually light and the reef can go messy fast.

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