i reckon it might be a bit to rough and dangerous i have fished it many a time with only a small wind and swell but you still have to be very careful as it can trow up a big roller out of the blue if you do fish it dont fish alone and be very careful the left hand side of the lighthouse is the best place to fish but you have to get down the cliff to fish the marks if the wind is any way strong from the south or sth east or sth west then i would pick another mark more safe

fish between the hook light house and slade . try 80 to 86 their is often shelter in their and it fishes well
or if the sea is a bit rought try the black channel 32 to 34 and fish under your feet or spin up or down the channel . hope this helps
