- Rocks
- Pollution
gets deep quickly, often a shorebreak, so needs a larger swell
quite frustrating trying to catch it when it's working
Atmosphere
can get crowded, but never as bad as Lyall Bay
quite mellow atmosphere
fickle wave but can be fun
when conditions here are good, it usually means there are better waves to be had elsewhere
General
good for a quick after work surf, rarely excellent
