- Rips / undertow
- Rocks
- Sharks
Mostly for experienced surfers but on the smaller days you can learn here. Better in the winter months when there are big swells and good winds.
Atmosphere
The people around are usually pretty nice to you but try not to drop in on them and they will turn nasty.
General
Great spot. Does get crowded like Woolamai, but can really produce some great hollow waves and a great opportunity to get some great barrels.

good place - i like this wave a lot but does get crowded when its epic. has a few more banks than woolamai. just be careful when u r out there. there are rips and undertows especially if there is a easterly wind it pushes u right down the beach

A few corrections! - Anzacs (first carpark) is part of woolamai.Better in the winter months when there are big swells and good winds????Oh yes perfect when theres a solid double overhead swell and a fresh westerly blowing.Totally crap during medium swells and north easterly breezes though.

rips - solid rips out here. I've seen some gaping barrels out here, but its hard to stay in the right position. A frustrating place to surf.
