Image captured 2 hours and 30 minutes after low water (rising ordinary tide). Tide height was 1.4m (4.4 ft). Range 3.87m (12.7 ft). Toggle tide graph

As the tide comes in, the most consistent waves are the lefts near the rocks at the west end. Not quite as big as in the middle of the bay, but less prone to sections closing out. About head high +/- a foot.
