Who it suits depends on the size: intermediates up to about 1.4m. Bigger than 1.4m it is for advanced surfers. Long-period groundswell hits harder, so it counts as bigger.
It is a bit smaller than the open beaches, which keeps it friendly when the swell is up. A easterly wind blows offshore here, so mornings before the sea breeze are usually cleanest. Get Frothin’ checks the wind, swell, tide and the live wave buoys every hour and tells you, in plain English, whether it's worth paddling out at Trigg Point for your level.
