Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Crazy wave that comes from deep sea and then breaks on to a shallow rock ledge. Can only be surfed on mid-high, high and rising tides. Can get long depending on the swell and theres always plenty of that around here...problem is the wind, which needs to be a light NE offshore but can handle light E and SE. Anything from opposite directions will mess it up. Take off, drop into a heavy ledge of a wave and race it out down the line to make it out...it always does what its supposed to.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Shallow and dangerous. Have teared a few boards to pieces on this wave. Can't be standup surfed. The wave sits on a rock ledge next to a small rockysandy bay so theres where you paddle out from. Sometimes you get an awsome, heavy shorey on the beach here when the elements come together. |
| |
General |
Sick wave. Always working. Breaks in about anything from 30cm to under 1 foot water....heavy.... Wave looks exactly like a spot called 'guillotines' in SE Australia but gets more swell, haha. Loads of urchins, which you will get familiar with if you wipeout on the reef. When you're done with your surf, get your revenge on the urchins by turning them inside out and braaing them on the beach! Loads of great, uncrowded spots around this area, most of them never surfed before.....except by us!! |
