Harbour Entrance is known for being one of the most dangerous harbor entrances in the world, with a reputation that keeps it on the radar for seasoned surfers. It's a busy spot, and you’ll find a mix of surfers tackling its challenging waves, which can be both thick and shallow. The northern end of the entrance features a peak that can get pretty intense, especially when the conditions align just right.

This spot works best with a west swell, but it can also handle swells from the south and north. It’s suitable for waves up to about 1.8 meters (6 ft), breaking over sand. You’ll find both left and right waves here, offering varied options. The best time to surf is an hour before or up to an hour after low tide. The waves can pack a punch, and if you’re not careful, you might find yourself getting pulled out to sea or into the bay, based on the tidal flow. Wind from the southeast is preferable if you want to catch the best waves.

Be aware that this spot requires expert skills, as it can get dangerous quickly. If you’re new to surfing or not confident in your abilities, it’s probably better to skip this one. The impact zone can be heavy, and there have been some tow-ins happening lately, reflecting how serious the surf can get here. Access can be tricky as you’ll need to hop off or scramble back up onto the craggy North Jetty rocks, so keep that in mind when planning your session.
