Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Cabarita (Norries Headland)?

The Cabarita (Norries Headland) profile does not specify a preferred tide stage. That does not mean tide has no effect: check local conditions alongside swell and wind.

What wind direction is offshore at Cabarita (Norries Headland)?

The Cabarita (Norries Headland) profile uses wind from SW (220°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 170° to 270°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.

What swell size and direction work best at Cabarita (Norries Headland)?

The Cabarita (Norries Headland) scoring profile favors swell from SE (45° to 185°), a swell-height range of 1m to 3.8m, and a reference period of 13s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
