Additional Information
Mainly a bodyboarders wave. takoff is crucial when swell is bigger. Can be really fun and makable at 2 to 3 ft. Two reefs, one on either side. South side reef is wedgey and more hollow and dangerous suited to lidders only. The point on big days can give rides across the whole beach.
Atmosphere
Great atmosphere. Plenty of women. Most locals friendly, just dont get in way.
General
Fun. best small reef in area. Many options, from hollow barrels, to long peelers.

yes tamma - tamma is a consistent break with awesome rides left and right. mr anonymous you are a complete tool and oviously got no idea ,i've seen some of the greatest waves pumping out there eg. 2007 june july swell. when it gets awesome you can catch waves from k bay into tamma - even heard of guys going all the way into bronte. great spot

Crazy Swell - i eas staying at my friends house for a few days at bronte. we got home one day from school and tama point was pumping 12-15ft sets no joke the swell was working best at tama cause of the E/ESE swell. the local life gaurds were charging Azza got one that was like 20ft and went right into makenzies Kerbox was chucking some mad cutties aswell.some bodyboarder go blasted it was awsome.
