Left point over uneven reef 1 km south of Porridge; S swell lights it up, with quality walls and the occasional barrel. Hit and miss. It works best on a SSW swell with NE winds around mid tide. Watch for: rocky reef; experts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Beatons?

The Beatons profile favors mid tide. Compare this preference with the forecast tide and local conditions before choosing a session.

What wind direction is offshore at Beatons?

The Beatons profile uses wind from NE (45°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 0° to 90°. 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 Beatons?

The Beatons scoring profile favors swell from SSW (180° to 250°), a swell-height range of 0.7m to 2.8m, and a reference period of 15s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
