Porridge is a surf spot that can be a bit hit or miss, mainly suited for experienced surfers looking for a challenge. It's located over a rocky reef, and you’ll find it most enjoyable when the conditions line up just right. Access can be tricky, so remember to ask the local farmer for permission to get to the spot.

This place typically works best with south swells and northeast winds. The waves break left, producing heavy barrels that can be pretty intense, especially when the swell size hits around 4 feet (about 1.2 meters). When you’re out there, aim for mid-tide for the best experience. Just keep in mind, this isn't a beginners' spot; it’s really meant for expert surfers who know how to handle challenging conditions.

If you're planning to surf here, understanding the wave type is crucial—it's mostly a point break, and the uneven reef can make for some unpredictable breaks. While you're in the area, don’t forget that Beatons offers quality lefts in the next bay south if Porridge isn’t working out. Have fun, but know your limits!
