Park your car at the main carpark at Forresters Beach. This break is heavy and sets break wide, make sure your fitness is up to scratch.

Arguably THE HEAVIEST break on the central coast,possibly the entire east coast. ive seen dudes surf this 30ft. Waves are thick and barrell, tide permitting. Because your so far from the beach it can be a bit scary, experienced surfers only.
