The swell direction is more evenly split between WNW and NW, with a strong NNW component and frequent W swell, offering consistent exposure at Afife. Ideal wind occurs 44 per cent of the time, but the northerly wind regime starts to eat into clean windows; days with light E/ESE offshore flow are the ones to chase.
