Additional Information

Protected point that breaks very rarely, in similar vein to Bruces Beauties in Cape St Francis. It turns on when a massive southeasterly swell is pushed in by an incoming tide or strong SE winds. The onshore SE wind blows frontal groundswell back into the bay. Gets good when the wind backs off. This break is often a great but fickle option. Firstly, it breaks rarely. Secondly due it is hard to find. Thirdly, big great white sharks in the area.

Atmosphere

When its on its loooooong and awsome. Every local will know when this happens so be prepared for that. It has surprised us a few times aswell though and works when you least expect it to.

General

One of the longest waves i heve ever surfed. Lots of sharks. When the point is flat surf the beachie or shorebreak further down known as 'kakgat' or shithole.
