Anywhere with strong tidal/swells untill knowing the marks esp on some rock marks. These are best fished in day light so you find your way out stratagy when the rocks become too dangerous to fish.

its hard to avoid blanks some times,spots that fish good one day might be no good the next because of the tides,winds direction and other conditions
rock marks can be very dangerous,when you go fishing rock marks make sure you have a escape route planned,make sure you don't fish on rocks that the tide can surround as the tide can slip in around you very quick especially if you are catching a lot of fish

to help try and avoid disasters a few minutes thinking about your safety can make a big difference,and also wear a life jacket or a flotation suit and maybe invest in a marine radio.with a marine radio you can get in contact directly with any boat in the area and also with the coast guard ,never depend on a mobile phone,they never work when you want them to

Can't agree with Corybiere enough about the bluepool, alot of people fish it but it is dangerous. Also watch out on sandbanks or rock marks where the tide comes in behind you, got caught once and do not want to do it again,
