Surf-default-break-image
Name: Nine Mile Beach
Type: beach
Reliability: consistent
Best Swell: WSW Offshore Wind: ENE

Nine Mile Beach on the West Coast is a fairly exposed beach break that has consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds are from the east northeast. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the west southwest. Waves at the beach break both left and right. Best around high tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Watch out for dangerous rips.
