it only really works off cyclone swell,and then it fully pumps, only usaully 3 weeks of surf a year, but depends on how big the cyclones get
-when the swell is big, and i mean big, head down to reddell beach.
Atmosphere
very hot in jan feb,some stingers,this is the best time for waves too.plenty of aves to find,tidal range in this region is ten metres........honestly!!!!!!!april to september is tourist season .no waves but sometimes in august we get some small winter swell from down south
General
its great,but you gotta wait for a cyclone.

Only breaks for one week.. but when it does..! - A good mate of mine lives up here he said that he went along to Gantheaume Point beach on a big cyclone swell when everywhere else was messy and awful. At Gantheaume Point beach it was clean 4ft and breaking for around 300-400m from the point all the way into the beach with only 4 other blokes out. Never seen it like this in 10 years so it was an amazing experience surfing here.

well... - yeah, well.. I think it's a supreme, fabulous beach for just chillin out watching the sunset and swimming... I guess it's not a class for surfing.. anyway, this was a fabulous place and my dream until they built all these millionaire-shit villas.. so now there are thousands of dumbie tourists, the beach gets crowded plus those villas with stupid jet-set people from the city. not worth going there anymore. ciao

not bad... but not great! - Ok I'm not to sure what that guy was smokin... It's not as good as he says it is but it's not that bad. Nice fun fast little beachies. It's better in the wet because we get more cyclone swell and some big walls come through. It's not much but it's better than no waves at all...
