This ledge wants a small, settled swell — under about 1 to 1.5 metres — and a light to moderate westerly or northwesterly that blows offshore and flattens the platform. It fishes best on a rising tide into low light. Anything over about 2 metres, or a building easterly or southerly sea, washes the ledges and turns the spot dangerous. Check the Sydney coastal swell and tide forecast the night before and again at the car — if the lower rocks are already taking water, the session is off.
