Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Razors (Yamba)?

The Razors (Yamba) profile favors high tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Razors (Yamba)?

The Razors (Yamba) profile uses wind from W (265°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 220° to 310°. 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 Razors (Yamba)?

The Razors (Yamba) scoring profile favors swell from SE (60° to 185°), a swell-height range of 0.8m to 2m, 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.
