Its swell window is narrower than the northern beaches, so a swell that suits Trigg can miss Cottesloe. Compare them before you choose.
How the surf score works.
Swell period carries the most weight, then swell size, wind and swell direction. Offshore or light wind helps. Onshore wind over about 5 knots pulls the score down fast.
Pick Bodyboarding instead and the score changes. It likes steeper waves and puts up with more onshore wind.
