Tent Bay on the East Coast is an exposed reef break that usually has waves, although summer tends to be mostly flat. The best wind direction is from the southwest. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the north northeast. A left hand reef. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Rarely crowded here. Take care of rips and rocks.
