Very fast left over shallow reef, wear your booties! wait for the tide to change if it isnt working,, can go from hardly breaking to epic in the space of an hour ( i cant remember which tide was best though sorry) Works only May to Nov due to windsystems.

General
can get away from the crowds a little bit here, if north male is pumping its usually a couple of feet smaller down here but worth it if no one else is onto it..
