Additional Information

Buffeljags can seriously pump, especially in winter months. Its a pretty heavy beachbreak which works best on a clean ground swell, with little or no wind. Great barrels.

Atmosphere

Few surfers and people know of this area. Its a mission to get to, far drive and youll need a 4x4 but its worth it. Dont know where is accomodation?

General

Small fishing village nearby with a local poeople who have living the same way for years off the sea. They are friendly so be friendly back. DONT THROW YOUR GARBAGE AROUND AND NO FIRES. A place with alot of history and beautiful, unspoilt beach and part of the world.
