It faces south-south-west, a different angle from the mainland beaches, so it can pick up a swell they miss.
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.
