It's one of the few Perth spots Fathom also scores for kitesurfing, windsurfing and wingfoiling, so it's worth checking on sea breeze afternoons too.
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.
