Bird Lookout Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

Bird Lookout in Amber Coast is an exposed beach break that has quite reliable surf. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. Works best in offshore winds from the south southwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northeast. The beach break provides left and right handers. It's sometimes crowded here. Take care of urchins, rocks, sharks and coral.
