Additional Information

Atmosphere

Spot can vary from a reasonable wave to quite a heavy wave dependent on swell etc. Can be prone to strong currents and the shore line has a sharp rock entry which can be slippery and tricky in a heavy swell. Best bet is when waves are 1 - 2 metres with a lightish offshore wind - this usually presents the best conditions.

General

Great spot when the conditions are right.
