Ultimate spot for adventurous surfers looking to explore - Because the small bay is so secluded, in an area practically no-one knows about, it is an ideal spot for a surf-stop on a Southern Surf Roady! The reef break is openly explosed to the full force of the powerful Pacific Ocean, which rolls in heavy, powerful sets. The conditions are best when there is a light north-west, offshore wind. The bay produces set after set of perfectly curling left-hand barrels in the right conditions
