Additional Information
This wave is one of Australia's classic lefthanders, but it is extrmely fickle.
During school hoildays and after school, all the local gromets surf this place. Also there are a lot of surf skis and mals to contend with.
Very fickle location, but when it gets good, it is a absloute joy to surf, looonnnnggggg and perfect. Very fun
Atmosphere
Merimula is a beautiful place to just hang out, with a few other top surf spots as well. When Merimula bar gets good, it gets very crowded, so you have to just be patient. A classic wave, and worth the trip to the place.

answer to ur question - to answer ur question mate i'd say its all up too you, the bar is pretty fickle, u might get a sick swell u can tear up on ur shortboard or something smaller that u'd be better off on a fish with but i would say check the forecast and bring the board for the conditions.
