A general guide to surfing at Tarcoola (Chanteez) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tarcoola (Chanteez) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
