Surf Gates

Gates - Cape Douglass Gates features fast, powerful waves breaking both left and right over a rocky reef bottom. This surf spot is accessible within a 5-minute walk and is located at latitude -38.0405 and longitude 140.6205. It works well at all tides, with optimal conditions from swells coming from the South and SouthWest, and favorable winds from the North, Northwest, and Northeast. Situated among several breaks at Cape Douglass, Gates offers a unique surfing experience. On good days, surfers can enjoy the nearby Mokes and Pebbles breaks. However, caution is advised due to strong rips, making it unsuitable for beginners or those lacking fitness. The atmosphere is generally uncrowded during the week, with only a few surfers on weekends. For those unfamiliar with the area, it's recommended to use the rip in front of the wooden platform for easier access when conditions are challenging.
