Additional Surfing Infos |
| | It's where all the suff start in australia: the "Duke" rode the first official wave here.Good peaky lefts and rights in the southern corner with a south swell if other spots are flat. Being a small beach larger south swells are for the experienced who have spare boards. Over 4' from the south with south winds offers point to point closeouts. Nth Steyne a better option on those days. There is wind protection form NE'ers but wave quality on those occasions is poor. Smaller N/E wind swell in summer often misses to due size and direction it faces

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
The 'locals' are OK if you dont drop-in. Wait your turn and make sure you have practiced in kiddies corner before entering the alley! THe southern end is not for learners. The spot on it's day can be really good, however media coverage as a great learners/family spot often sees you dodging stingers, flying mals, and rescue boards. Clubbies often ride inflatables through waves effecting them, and often put the flags through the best section. |
| |
General |
Summer this is the worsed spot for stingers, learners on mini-mals, schools sports and over zealous clubbies. Best surfed outside of patrol times. Learn at the northern end only, improve in the mid section, then when compident attempt the alley (southern end/point) |

Smal righthander from just south of the clubhouse which held up enough due to westerly winds to enjoy a 20sec waist high mal ride. THe tide dropped, flags went up and I went home.
