When you take off on the wave don't try and bottom turn cos you will get smashed. It's for bodyboarders only. Too sucky for surfers.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is great the locals are cool. Just don't get on their bad side.
General
This spot is great! Especially in the winter months. On a good day comparble to Cronulla Point! Nearly every wave you get a barrell!

localism - i was bodyboarding out htere with some of my boys and the local surfing crew came out. They claimed that we were snaking there waves so one of them took a poo in one of our bags which broke our phones//ipods. Just be aware of the local kids cos they are pretty talented surfers but they jus need to learn to respect us 'tourists'.
