Additional Information
Keep an eye on your position when you're surfing this place, as the currents can drag you in front of the rocks and if a set comes in.....
Atmosphere
Like most of the south coast this spot is nice and cruisey.
General
Can be good when other spots are closing out as it has a consistant bank off the point. Fun when the swell is small

lowlands - i bagged it for years and still drive past without checking it. BUT i believe it works best as right when its the size of powerpoles and breaking a bit further out than the rocky point on the east side. i have surfed it like this 6 times in 20 years. first time was like 'the biggest ones have the best shape' and wasnt until out the back i realised how big that really was. easy to get out the back when like that [even my mates dog made it] but watch u dont get washed on to the rock and bring ya gun.
