Additional Information

Not many surf it but believe me on the right days it cooks. The right at the point gets epic with medium swell, lowish tide and no wind. The cliffs also block some wind as a bonus. It is a river mouth so be warned there are sharks, probably why its rarely surfed. Worth a look if wilderness isnt lekker.

Atmosphere

Ive had days to myself out here. You gotta walk down and paddle across. There are a few peaks sometimes according to what the banks are doing. There is the right: Usually short and zippy, sometimes long though. Then theres a a frame peak in the middle of the mouth which fades and reformes, both get good.

General

Dont get caught cause it could be private property, not sure.
