all you really have to do to surf this spot, is to rock off properly, and watch the sharks that get lured in by the fishermen on shore.
Atmosphere
very shallow, this place can't really be surf in anything over 5-6ft, past that, and your asking for trouble with the rocks
General
Great on its day, and at mid to high tide, low, it's too shallow to consider looking at it

brownwater - who is the one who added this spot cos they obviously dont know much about it cos it is actually a right and monkees is a different spot which is to the right of brownwater (if ur looking at it from shore). if its a big swell then expect this place to be packed (reef and shore).
