A short walk eastwards from smiths beach till you see the small nobby point. You can walk up onto the point to check it out. When you get there you will see the wave exploding off the point wrapping around to the other side of it.

2 months surfing, yeah right - The guy who reckons he can surf 6ft ep after 2 months is probably surfing smiths. I was at ep during that schoolies period and it didn't get over about 2ft...in fact i might have seen you out there catching after the bowl...you were the guy who got to the knees before the feet.hahaha

Loved this wave - We surfed EP back in Sept 07, about 3-5' was very good. Similar to North Point in Cowaramup. Locals were cool & they ripped.
Got couple very good barrels
