Additional Information
Bassically, to surf good, don't paddle, just walk, unless it's a freak high tide, but other than that, the only time to kick, is when your going for a wave
Atmosphere
It is Very shallow and when i say shallow, lets just say that if you fall off, don't blame anyone if you come up with a cut or two, with just 12 inches of water between you and a very sharp rock bottom, it's a devistatinly scary atmosphere.
General
If i said it was totally epic it would be to much, but if i said it was a classic break, i would be a mistake of a lifetime.

Spot Claimers: PLEASE TAKE NOTE!! - Alright, lets set this straight. The reason that someone has posted a dummy photo for a spot is to confuse the kind of idiots who look up their surf spots on the net. So why are you guys trying to expose which ones are real and which ones arent? It doesnt do you any favours, and if anything, it only makes it harder for those Cronulla locals who surf SuckRock. Why would you do this?! It's easier just to say 'photo3 is not monkeys.', or better yet to not say anything at all, in order to confuse those who probably dont deserve to be surfing our favourite spots to begin with. Lets keep it humble guys, no one admires you for being able to identify a wave. really. Pipe down. In all honesty, monkeys can be a bit of fun, but it is by no means epic, more just one of those last resort, '10 minute muckaround before heading in' spots, and it requires specific conditions to even work. Righto, play the rules, smile, i'll smile back.

Yeah right.... - This is a prime example of prepubescent hype. Crap wave, but at least it keeps the gay lids out of the line up.
