Additional Information

Greenways seriously pumps and is alot better than most surfers know. Best in winter medium to large swell 4-8 but surprises you throughout the year often. The lefts are sick and when its good youre almost garaunteed to have it to yourself. Best on clean swell with little or no wind.

Atmosphere

Its pretty shallow and intense on low tide so best to come on mid or high. The paddle out is tricky, rocky and pretty far. There is also the threat of sharks you gotta watch out for. Bring a mate and enjoy.

General

Just use your lemon and youll be fine.
