Additional Information
The sewerage plant in the car park doesnt smell to good when the offshore is blowing.
This spot holds up on the SW wind whcih can be the prevalent wind here for days on end. The wave breaks off the side of the reef and there are some nice sections to it. Have some reasonable lefts.A chill spot with an easy paddle off the side of the rocks with a rip to help . Do take off from the side wall area and the paddle will be easier .
Atmosphere
Quiet. In general , an average wave with possibility and also holds up swell in most conditions . Its OK but not gangbusters.

place rocks - this place fires.have been surfing there for the past 8 years.can hold up to 8ft no problem and when its goodthere is few places on the coast that can beat it!no locals ever surf there so chances are that you will have awesome waves all to your self.
