Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Spookies?

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.

What wind direction is offshore at Spookies?

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.

What swell size and direction work best at Spookies?

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.

When is the best time of year to surf Spookies?

The main season at Spookies is Jan-Jul.

The spot profile lists GFN as a nearby airport. The estimated road transfer is 60 minutes.
