Gannet Point

Bawley Point, Australia

🦈Sharks🪨Rocks

YouTubeWatch on YouTube CustomizeCustomize this spot

Consistent point between Cormorant and Murramarang beaches: short left, and a long right when it's working that ends at the point. Best when it's huge. It works best on a SSE swell with WNW winds. Watch for: rocks, sharks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Gannet Point?

The Gannet Point 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 Gannet Point?

The Gannet Point profile uses wind from WNW (290°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 245° to 335°. 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 Gannet Point?

The Gannet Point scoring profile favors swell from SSE (80° to 196°), a swell-height range of 1m to 5m, 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.
