It is a hidden surf spot that has great waves when working. It has fast and powerful waves that acasionaly barrel when the conditions are right.
Atmosphere
A great wave to go to to get away from the crowds at woolamai and forrest caves.
General
Great spot dont tell to many people about it.

- why would you write a spot not to tell many people about when you have posted it on the web!
in reality there can be waves here but the sand banks are very fickle. almost every time you check it, it will be a close out

very fickle - very fickle, the sand needs to be just perfect, got once you get it right it can be absolute bliss, the sand covers over a reef, once saw a local lad shacked off his nut (5 seconds is a bit exagerated but he was deep!) and he made it out.
