Character
01Berry Bay is defined by very consistent exposed beachbreak favouring lefts over sand banks with rocky bay margins. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02SW groundswell swell, e offshore and broad range · bank dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.6–2.8 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to rip currents, remote beach access, cold-water exposure. Local signs and advice always take priority.
