Week crowdFew surfers
Week-end crowdCrowded
- Rips / undertow
- Localism
- Sharks
Barely any parking in summer, heaps of Canberran fags, but on a big day they will stay out of the water coz there all pussy fags and usually only locals are out there, pretty shit wave and best suited to stand ups / mal riders, pretty crap wave for boogers best to head up to the reefs in Durras and Bawley
Atmosphere
Beach Break with a bit of reef on the left side that only works on a big south swell, hardly barrels

- This is a crap place. Definetly dont bother. Theres heaps of sharks, dangerous as (rips and stuff), heaps bad for families and tourists (ie canberra people like me). I even got bashed by all these mean locals. Stay away!
