Exposure

Exposed to wind from the south-west through the north-north-west (225° to 345°) and to swell from the south-west through the north-north-west (225° to 345°). Sheltered from the NE, E, SE, S. West and north-west swell suspends tenders (ships divert to Spotts or skip the call) and makes the ironshore shore entries dangerous.
