Boral tide can be seen here every day, but usually, the waves are rather modest. If you want to see the most impressive bore tide, come in spring or fall. Tides are the greatest at the equinoxes in March and September. If you like surfing, you can try to ride these huge waves, which sometimes r​each 12 m. But remember that they are rather dangerous, so this activity is only for experienced​ athletes.
