Additional Information
A very fun wave to muck around on because it is a backwash, but use caution because it breaks directly infront of a large clifface and is EXTREMELY shallow, my usuall routine is to ride the outwards backwash but most people ride towards the clifface for bigger boosts, but people have been seriously injured here so be careful and always surf with a friend, and look out for sharks , there is a shark breeding congragation close to wreck beach and zenith beach, come during S swells, winds dont commonly matter, but West and East winds are ideal.
