Fun wave with a barrel and foam ball. On good days it's a wave you dont normally see in this area, very classy, hollow fast and spits on the reef.
Park along the side of the road. Use cliff access path, go right at end of path for about 10mins then paddle from point overlooking first beach. paddle around reef to the break.
