Powerful right over reef just north of Angourie Point that needs a good E swell to clear the rocks; air-drop take-off. It works best on an E swell with SW winds. Watch for: shallow rocks, punishing take-off.

The Spookies profile does not specify a preferred tide stage. That does not mean tide has no effect: check local conditions alongside swell and wind.
The Spookies profile uses wind from SW (225°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 180° to 270°. Wind speed matters too: light winds outside that range can still produce surfable conditions, while strong offshore winds can make takeoffs difficult.
The Spookies scoring profile favors swell from E (40° to 170°), a swell-height range of 1.7m to 4.4m, 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.
The main season at Spookies is Jan-Jul.
The spot profile lists GFN as a nearby airport. The estimated road transfer is 60 minutes.
Spookies is a point break, a right-hander. Difficulty is rated 9/10.
