You have to walk from Tunks carpark east down the beach. After about 2kms you will find the shelf opposite a triangular sand hill with 3 saltbushes on top. Breaks quick and from deep water so you're best off with a lid or very quick feet. Only been surfed a few times on a massive west swell. when its on its on!!!!

300 m on a good day -
Is this true? I've never heard of this break
I've never surfed tunks, blowhole or the other known break in the area, if this place is 300 m it should be better known.
Then again, maybe its just the sharks over at the pages islands that keeps it empty...
I was surfing waits the day that 50 white pointers were feeding on the dead whale off the pages(late 90's or 2000). I wouln't want to be much closer
