Baked Beans

Best Surf Season (May - September)

The winter months are the engine room for Baked Beans. With the Southern Ocean storm track firing on all cylinders, average swell heights climb to 2.3-2.4m (7.5-8ft) and periods reach 12.2-12.5s. SSW and SW groundswell dominate, delivering the power and length needed to put this northeast-facing beach to work. The catch is wind: ideal offshore flow occurs only 17-21% of the time, so the early morning windows before the thermal onshore wind kicks in are often the best bet. Score those dawn slots and you will find the biggest, most powerful surf of the year.
