really hard too find, just become tight mates with a local is my only suggestion...quite a low key spot, the type of place where people would be amazed to hear that you can acually surf here.
Atmosphere
Only come here if you know what you are doing. This spot is decieving beacuse its just off the High Rock Point and most days it doesn't break. The point manages big swell so well and it can easy get up to 14ft+...scary takeoff in front of rocks.
General
You need no fear and kinda have to be a local, its so inconsistent that you have to be around when it finally breaks.
