Additional Surfing Infos |
| | There are 2 waves here, the right, whcich is a really powerful break, if you don't take it properly, and the left, which isn't as powerful, but there is a pipe, around, 30m-50m away from the take off zone.That is usually the only danger, except for some of the locals around.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
it is a fun wave because you can get all the feeling of a rock and point break, like at dee why, or butter box, but the depth of the water gets every rider at leats once or twice a session, but other than that, the brut power, and suckiness of the wave suprises even good surfers and bodyboarders around. |
| |
General |
A good wave for anyone, unless you are a begginer, then the collaroy side of the pipe may appeal to you more |
