The beach faces east into Keppel Bay, so a light south-easterly or a westerly is ideal; a strong north-easterly or easterly puts a shore break on the beach and fills the gutters with weed. Clear water and a gentle surf are best for whiting. After heavy rain the run-off from the creeks colours the water near the creek mouths.
