About this break

Type
Point
The most swell-exposed point in the bay, a long powerful right that holds the biggest winter NW swells and can run for several hundred metres past the headland. Best at low to mid tide and always bigger than it looks from the road. Heavy, fast and committing, for strong surfers only when it is on.
Heads up. Sharp rocky shelf, very long paddle out, strong current on big swells, urchins.

AboutRight now is exactly when to paddle out. The swell is pure groundswell wrapping in from the right direction, which means the point should peel long and true, and the morning offshore from the SE is holding the faces clean and steep. Looks like waist to chest, which is solid at Killer without being massive, the kind of size where the point shows its teeth but doesn't demand a tow-in crew. Water is warm and the tide is rising steadily into the sweet spot.
By mid-afternoon the swell will thin to thigh to stomach as the window closes, and a cross-shore wind from the WSW will soften what shape remains. Today is essentially done by 3pm.
Tomorrow morning looks good again at similar size, thigh to stomach in the best case, and the peak rating holds. The swell should fill in enough to make it worth a dawn patrol if you miss today, though forecasts this far out shift fast and the ocean rarely reads the script exactly as printed.
