Additional Information
This spot rarely breaks and even if it does its usually fat slop. Has broken fast and hollow before but only smallish. Needs big s-sw swell to work. Rocks are hazards. Small shorey nearby, is just as fickle and not really worth going in for, sometimes it gets fun and has backwash.
Atmosphere
Don't come here, heavy primary school locals. when a boat goes past the waves get bigger. Head to woodfire pizza for a feed.
General
Its near hobart but not worth checking, is a joke wave. head down to taroona or blackmans bay for waves with some quality.

- your the man jimmie, you seem to know everything bout every wave. When this place is on, it is far more hollow than the arm points which at 6/8 are usually break way off the point and are fat. you should know that jimme, cause your the man, but your most likely a stick that doesnt like "steep" waves.
