yew - its not a long walk through the scrub, or hard to find haha. its probaly one of the easiest waves to find on the south coast. but you wont get crowds out there because of how gnarly it is! breaks 15 metres from ledge and is the roundest wave i have ever seen.

dont bother - dont bother going to this spot, its the biggest trek for a break that hardly works. i stayed down that way for 2 month, and made the anoying trip and long arguous bushwalk to check it most days and not once was it working, so many better spots that are easier to find like guillos and bawley point. dont bother, coggens isnt worth it
