Additional Information
Park at the top of the headland and walk down the stairs. Epic wave nice barrels and it opens up after about 50m into a sick cut back section. awesome for floaters if you have the balls. take a 6ft 2' and a mini gun.
Atmosphere
absolutely empty miles from any where and it's a great escape for a surf trip.
General
epic!

What left? - I unfortunately made the effort to get to this place. Waste of time. Crap waves, unfriendly locals, and saw three big sharks as well. The locals laugh at the poor tourists that follow instructions on wannasurf to get here. Joke is on you. Dont waste your time
