Additional Information
Car park's are aplenty and there are no thives. The best way to surf this spot is to set you're line and CHARGE....
Atmosphere
This is a butiful place to surf even better when it's pumping. You're also on the door step to the Marlbourough sounds. Just remember when you're at Cable Bay you're on Maori land so respect you're surroundings and take you're rubbish with you,And be nice humans
General
This place pumps but can also make you wish you never paddeld out, it's very SHALLOW
