well when you jump of the rocks raedy to paddle out watch for sea urchins as i've steeped ona few myself. just leave your car at nobb's it is pretty safe there.how to surf is pretty easy when you get to become familiar with it it starts off with a surge and you go forward for about 10 metres then it sucks up into a hollowist wave it is quite good.
Overview
Atmosphere
groper is hell as i said the surge to the wave is amazing it produces the biggest air bowl at end of wave the atmosphere is great everybody on the beach just watches you unleash on the wave it rocks on.
General
personally i think it is the best spot in newy (even better than Harbour,pilo's,moon island) it is a great surfing spot.

What happened to it?
The Groper used to be a great wave when it was on, depending on swell direction and tide, it could break well from 3 to 8ft+. On a big southerly swell, The Groper and Merewether were often the only two waves in the city holding it and it could also hold up nicely in a moderate to large north swell. But somethings happened out there, it always breaks shit on a big swell now and only ever seems to hold a short 2ft suck on the reef.
