the surfs up through the channel right across on a 3 - 4 meter swell up at Jurien.

The south channel gets really hairy at 3-4 meters, but if you head out to the north of the island it should be ok.

Thanks for the info, cant seem to find the south passage on the Auschart, I guess the north passage is just a case of following the leadline?

Any other options in or around Jurien, rivers? etc perhaps land based?

Ive commited with the accommodation so have to follow through now!

Yep the north passage you follow the lead lines nw out of the marina.

The south channel has a red and a green channel marker on it.

South Passage is to the south of Favourite Island and is marked as said above. It is best avoided on a big swell. North passage (to the north of Favourite Island and marked as said above) is a better option. Be wary of the north end of Seaward Ledge when coming back in. Stay well to the north of it.

Thanks for the info guys.

Is anyone else heading out?

Cheers

 watch the swell in north passage, on a big swell 3m plus with a low tide it can stack up quiet big 

on another note its good fishing at the jetty and marina and also worth a look at hill river

Thanks for the tip, ill get to Hill river for a look for sure.

 I'm heading another 130k's up the road to Port Denison,staying up there until Anzac Day.

Hopefully the swell up there won't be to much of a concern,I'll be on the Ski,mainly looking for some big tailor around the reefs.

Enjoy your fishing.

 Cheers, good luck!

You can still get around in the bay if there is a swell running, I'm going over for easter and will take the boat.

Even if there is a swell it's usually not bad when your outside the reef, it really depends on the frequency of the swell more than the size.
