Yellowcraig Beach on the East Coast is a fairly exposed point break that has fairly consistent surf. Winter and spring are the favoured times of year to visit. Offshore winds are from the south southeast. Windswells and groundswells in equal measure and the ideal swell angle is from the east. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up.
