Additional Information

Kak spot. Only gets ok with a westerly HUGE swell pushing in. There are a few peaks, just look which ones the best. Best here is on the right side of the beach towards 4th.

Atmosphere

Most people dont surf here cause its mostly kak but i have seen it ok a few times in winter. When theres big swell this place might be around 4 foot solid and can get hollow but its rair.

General

Kak spot but gets ok. Great summer spot for checking out girls on the beach.
