Best swell
SSE to NW
Horseshoe bay below high cliffs and a white fishing village, sheltered enough to stay clean when the open coast is blown out by north wind. Sandbar peaks in the middle of the bay suit most levels, while a long, fast right point peels off the rocks at the north end towards the harbour once the swell is well overhead. Best on a NW swell with NE wind, and the point lines up around low to mid tide.
Heads up. Shallow boulders in the point lineup, rock cuts and broken boards, rips, crowds in season.

AboutWorth paddling out between now and 9am while the sandbar peaks hold shape. The NNW swell angle wraps into the bay cleanly despite the modest size, and the north wind is light enough to stay cross-shore and hold the faces together rather than tear them apart. You are looking at waist-high walls at best, with most peaks thigh to waist, but the groundswell is solid and the water is warm enough for a spring suit.
By 3pm the swell fades to ankle to thigh, and the wind picks up to 20kph from the NNW, so today's window closes hard after mid-morning. Expect smaller, windier conditions for the rest of daylight.
Tomorrow stays fair at the same rating but looks best in the evening as the swell rebuilds slightly to match today's range. The forecast confidence is moderate, as is often the case this far out, so keep an eye on the dawn patrol call if conditions shift overnight.
