Additional Information
One of the undiscovered gems of the south coast. (There are many along here.) A long righthand reef break. Very shallow, the reef is exposed at most places right infront of the wave so you gotta watch out for that. Looks like a point setup, the swell wraps around and fades into deeper water eventually. Lots of sharks here aswell, weve seen plenty! There is a coastal road here you just gotta look out for it. Paddling out is a mision. The reef shelf drops sharply into deep water from land, if you wipeout too bad then its often best on big swell just to walk out and paddle back in from further down.

Time the sets well here!! Needs a 5 foot sweel or bigger to work properly. The bigger the longer it gets. Trust me you dont wanna wipe out when its big! Dont know how many others have surfed it, never seen anyone else out here. Classic long wave, when its on it pumps but for experienced surfers only!! Big spitting barrels!
