Additional Information
This wave breaks like a point over the sand banks formed by the river Avon. You can either paddle out through the surf directly to the line up, or you can use the rip on the left of the beach to get out, then paddle across.

General
This is a great wave, it breaks pretty fast and the bank is really shallow in places so you've gotta be careful. Great barrel sections from take off, even when its not at its best its a sick wave.
