On small swells, the South Coast's many open beaches can have fun waves on North West to South Westerly winds.
Remember, catching green (unbroken) waves is often easier on mid to high tides (less nosedives) or if the waves are too big or challenging, surf whitewater waves close to shore, which is normally best on mid to low tides in waist deep water.
