Right now you're looking at chest-to-overhead faces that need confident, experienced surfers to handle them properly. The 14-second period is wrapping the swell in clean from the south, and at 97 percent groundswell this is pure ocean energy, not wind chop, which means the faces are standing up and holding shape as they peel down the point. The cross-shore wind from the west-south-west is working against you this early, but that's exactly why the 11am window matters: by then the wind should soften enough to let you see what the swell is really doing.

By mid-afternoon the cross-shore wind has swung north-west and dropped to barely 6 kilometres per hour, which turns the conditions offshore and cleans the faces further. The swell itself eases slightly to chest-to-overhead, so if the morning doesn't work out, a late session could offer a second chance, though the light wind alone makes it worth watching if you missed the peak.

Tomorrow sits at the same fair rating with overhead waves that again demand experience and solid technique. Morning is your best window before any wind builds, and the swell looks marginally smaller than today, so today is the more substantial opportunity if conditions align. Forecasts at this distance carry real uncertainty, but the pattern through the season favours these May to September swells, so the read is reasonably firm.
