Can't see the faces of the waves from the picnic area, but can make out the white wash to see if it's worth while to walk around the beach.

Atmosphere
Can get alright waves when it has been blowing a 40+ knot westerly for a few days. Is ideal when there is big westerly swell and the wind swings around to north or north westerly for offshore. Most of the time the surf is sloppy and closes out, though can get some fun waves. Walk around quarter or mid way around the beach to find a good set. Can get some right-handed beach breaks.
If there are gale forced westerly winds (50+ knts), clean waves can break near the picnic area. A right hander can start to peal off the rocks, but is very rare.

General
Facing the western side of the island, it has to blow fairly strong to build up some decent swell. Is more sheltered than the other western surf spots, so it's an option when the wind is really hard.
