Frequently Asked Questions

What tide is best at Newgale?

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

What wind direction is offshore at Newgale?

The Newgale profile uses wind from E (90°) as its preferred direction, with an offshore range of 30° to 120°. 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 Newgale?

The Newgale scoring profile favors swell from WSW (210° to 290°), a swell-height range of 0.9m to 2.5m, and a reference period of 12s. These are model inputs, not guaranteed breaking-wave heights or a promise that the surf will suit every ability.
