You can find lots of the information you need by reading the guides on the main site - start by looking at this post - https://surfing-waves.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=730 or go straight to the main site by using the link at the top right of this page.

Before worrying too much about sharks take a look here https://surfing-waves.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=543
If other surfers are out at the breaks you are planning to surf then all shoud be ok. If in doubt ask some local surfers.
