Additional Information
The right comes off a rocky shelf that's on the right side of the main bay. Watch the currents as you can be pulled behind the reef and mashed if you're not careful
Atmosphere
Fun, wedgey wave with a steep takeoff and a bit of a wall. Can have a left off the opposite point if conditions are right.
General
This spot is fun for something different.

been there - Surfed there once, wasn't so big but funny. I surfed the wave alongside the rock on the lefhand side of the beach. Don't go too close to the rock though...

Yeh itz not bad - Its the most consistent area coz ther is a reef a few metres away, ive surfed it 8ft -11 foot and the tiny bay area surges like hell, its tricky when that big and its happened 3 times ive been there... its also a really thick wave and deep but its really good because its pretty slow
