Go now. The swell is lined up perfectly from the NNW, wrapping in at a clean 9-second period that holds shape across the reef, and the northerly wind is cross-shore, keeping the ledgy walls from closing out. You're looking at thigh to stomach height with solid groundswell energy, and the tide is falling gently, which means you're still in the window before the rock slab gets too shallow and demands real expertise. Water is warm at 19°C.

By mid-afternoon the northwesterly wind will pick up to around 19kph and turn more cross-shore, choppier conditions that will soften the wave quality. The swell looks like it holds through the afternoon but the wind is the limiting factor, so the morning session is where you'll find the cleanest faces.

Tomorrow peaks with the same 5-out-of-5 rating and looks strongest in the morning before it settles into waist to stomach range. It reads similar in character to today but size dips slightly, so if you're chasing the most user-friendly conditions within the expert-only threshold, today's dawn window remains the better bet.
