Additional Information

One of the gems of the south coast, not many know about it. Dont mind giving information on it cause its a mission to get to and a crazy wave. Needs big swell to turn on, around 7 foot plus. It breaks very close to the rocks and is dangerous, you better know what you are doing out here, there are no hospitals around. You gotta time it well. If you get caught on the inside its crazy to get out again.

Atmosphere

Surfed it once and it almost killed me, though reckon ill give it another shot. Rip is nasty aswell and there are sharks but its a wave to remember if you catch it right.

General

No room for mistakes here, be committed and enjoy!
