Andrews Head

Andrews Head is an exposed beach break that produces a steady mix of left and right waves over a sandy bottom with scattered rocks. Surf is described as regular and generally fun, with wave quality reported as good and typical ride lengths in the medium range. Wind-wise, conditions are best when the wind is offshore for the lineup. Offshore directions are reported from the northeast (and also north/northwest for cleanest conditions), while the ideal swell direction is reported from the southwest (with south and southeast swells also noted as workable). Reported wind speeds are commonly in the 10–25 knots range, with moderate reliability and moderate gusts during the period when conditions are most favorable. Safety is a key consideration. Sources emphasize watching for rocks, rip conditions/currents during larger swells, and sharks. Low tide can expose submerged rocks, so plan your entry carefully and treat the lineup as hazardous terrain. Seasonally, water temperatures are cold to cool year-round, peaking in August and September, and the most favorable months for wind are reported as September through November. Weather patterns also suggest an autumn focus for the best combination of swell consistency and manageable conditions, with higher storm potential later in the year.
