Fergusons Beach Surf Photo: 'Low tide left point' by Rob Davies

Too much wind but I think this low to mid-tide left near Kaihoka Lakes shows some promise for small swells. Previously, I have only been here at about high tide when the obvious wave is a steep right reef at the other side of the bay along with various beach-breaks in between.
