Additional Information
Although this is a fairly secluded spot it gets a lot of surfers from Aukland - particularly at weekends.
Atmosphere
A fun fast wave, which can be great if all conditions come together. Crowding and localism are rare but have been experienced here.
General
This area is definately worth the detour - as there are several waves of quality in and around here.

Hey Local - Hey Loco, I m from Malibu Ca, trust me, you have no idea what localism is, I will teach you if you want in a way you will never forget, this planet is for everyone who respects others and its enviroment. You just crawl back into your cave if you can't handle it
