Additional Information
dont go out to deep cos this beach is hell dangerous and keep and eye on the rocks cos if its a south swell you could be in them in a second. You can drift 100m in 5 minutes its nasty
Atmosphere
Its a pretty lonely place gr8 views and walks awesome caves to explore for the kids but watch the tide so they dont get stuck in them rockpools for swimming the sea and 20-40m sand dunes to slide down if its windy then dont go cos its horrible and strong
General
its pretty average but if your dyin for a surf like most surfers do after being in golden bay its the only place for a while.

Local - Im a Golden Bay local an a surfer. I know his place, It has waves, often to messy and dangerous to ride. But if you arrive on the right day.. it can be well worth it I think. (I am yet to arrive on the right day:). ALso there is a somewhat "secret" point break a wee drive back from here wich is sometimes on if Wias is not or is just too windy.Ask a local where fletchers beach is.
