Overview
Moonee Creek is a river-mouth break that peels both left and right over sand. When conditions line up, the rip-torn creek mouth sculpts good sandbars and throws a sucky barrel in the flow, and there's a moderate wave working right off the point as well.
When It Works
It draws swell from northeast through east-southeast to south (NE-ESE-S), with southeast (SE) the best match. The break stays rideable across a wide window, working from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 3 m / 10 ft. Consistency is good here, so waves show up regularly.
Wind and Tide
Look for southwest (SW) offshore wind, and note the setup is sheltered from south winds. It breaks through low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This one suits intermediate surfers. The same rip that shapes the sandbars also makes it unsuitable for beginners, so it pays to be comfortable in moving water. Expect a moderately busy lineup when it's on.
Access
Restrooms and showers are on hand. For parking, there's a car park with free parking, along with paid and roadside options.
