Surfing for everyone

08/09/2026

OUTLOOK AS OF TODAY: All eyes on tomorrow for a surf with small waves and offshore winds forecasted the rest of the week.

Small to no waves today with moderate offshore winds. Best to save it for tomorrow.

Wednesday has a short period northerly wind swell and gentle onshore winds. Expect some fun-sized surf but likely quite messy. Looks best in early afternoon as the wind drops off but there’s still a bit of size. It’ll be smaller in the afternoon/evening but will have very little wind so will be cleanest then.

Thursday the wind swings offshore and there should be some fun little waves in the morning and then dropping in size all day, fingers crossed we’ll have enough for our Adult Wellbeing session on Thursday 6:30-7:30pm. Too windy for paddle boarding.

Friday the swell drops off and so does the wind. Crossing our fingers there’s still a 1 foot wave for our Adult Surf Lesson 6-8pm. Too windy for paddle boarding.

Saturday the wind goes moderate offshore again but with tiny waves we’re crossing everything there’ a bit more for out lessons. Kids Surf 10-12, Mini-Surfers 11-12, and Open Surf Lesson 2-4pm. Too windy for paddle boarding.

Sunday the wind drops off again and goes more cross-shore. Through the afternoon we’ll open for SUP if the forecast stays the same. We’ll have hire Kids Paddle Board Lesson 10.30-12 and Open Paddle Board Lesson 1.30-3pm

We’ve had an amazing time down at the beach this summer both in and out of the water!

Here’s some photos from some of our favourite moments.

01/09/2026

OUTLOOK AS OF TODAY: Smaller waves with offshore winds for most of the week. Good conditions for paddle boarding on Wednesday and Sunday.

Today has a little wave in offshore winds, dropping through the day, should be something for bigger boards and the kids.

Wednesday looks really small but onshore winds mean that paddle boarding will be a good option.

Thursday the wind swings offshore and there should be some fun little waves all day - ideal for our Adult Wellbeing session on Thursday 6:30-7:30pm. Too windy for paddle boarding.

Friday the swell drops off and the wind stays moderate offshore. Crossing our fingers there’s still a 1 foot wave for our Adult Surf Lesson 6-8pm. Too windy for paddle boarding.

Saturday there’s a short period swell coming through with offshore winds hopefully producing some clean 1-2 foot waves for our Kids Surf 10-12, Mini-Surfers 11-12, and Open Surf Lesson 2-4pm. Too windy for paddle boarding.

Sunday the swell builds up a bit - still a short period and the wind goes cross shore but it should fun for the surf lessons have all day. Between the piers will be sheltered from the wind and the waves and great for paddle boarding - we’ll have hire open all day and the Kids Paddle Board Lesson 10.30-12 and Open Paddle Board Lesson 1.30-3pm
