Additional Information

Mcdougals can get classic when the wind's not messing it up. The lefts are better and longer. The takeoff is the best part, most days it barrels over a ledge and then eventually fades. Works best 3-5 foot, clean groundswell and light offshore.

Atmosphere

Lots of kelp around, nightmare for surfers but lekker on bodyboard.

General

There are loads of kiff spots around here.
