Character

01

Witch’s Rock is defined by hollow left + right peaks over sand with rock influence. 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

02

S–SW swell, ne–e offshore and mid tide · bank dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.9–2.8 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.

Lineup read

03

This is an advanced profile: positioning, entry and exit should be assessed before committing. Pay particular attention to boat-access logistics, strong currents, powerful hollow surf. Local signs and advice always take priority.
