breaks eighth metres in front of a big kelp covered rock.
the swell comes out of deep water and suddenly hits the reef and ledges.
breaks best on low to mid tide.
its more hollow and draws more water off the reef.
if your surfing it for the first time you'll more than likely you'll discover just how sharky and secluded it is. and dont just sit on the shoulder and look at. just paddle out and take off on the fisrt bomb that comes through.
Atmosphere
sharky, secluded, and pretty much one of the most scenic surf spots on the west coast of tassie
General
sick break and epic barrels to be had dont be soft. take everything
