Fishery Bay Surf Guide

Fishery Bay in Eyre Peninsula is a fairly exposed beach break that only works once in a while with no particular seasonal pattern. Works best in offshore winds from the northwest and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the south. No beach break here and in addition, both left and right reef breaks add variety. Good surf at all stages of the tide. An uncrowded break, even when it is working.
