Chrissy Island - I worked on the island for 6 months and managed to have some really decent surfs. The cove gets the best waves early in the year when the low pressure systems are active on our side of the tropics. If you do some exploring around this island you will find some pretty gnarly reefs which i would recommend for a bodyboard if you know what your doing. Most reefs are extremely hard to get to. Dont go to this island just for the waves
