Additional Surfing Infos |
| | when the bank forms the swell will reach a rock wall (manmade pool, which can also double as a tube machine when the swell is to big to ride)it will then bounce off the wall and hit the incoming swell, causing a rider to get launched way above the wave, will only really work well a couple a times a year.
Usually very shallow on the sand bar and also can be end up being washed into the rock wall,
mostly bodyboarders spot.
try to avoid this spot if it's low tide and your board is a stand up that features big chunky fins.
This spot is set up on a rock wall so if your a esky lid rider you have the surf of you life. the waves was up on to the wall and form a 2-3 foot backwash. this means that you can catch waves out into oncoming wave. the boost you recive is amazing. if you gonna booge anywhere on the coast, go hard and hit up this epic spot.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
this break has a solid take off but will give u nice long hollow tubes
It is basically a circus because it is so close to where people can see you, it is also located just around the corner of a well known break so people see the festivities and come and watch. The atmosphere is really fun when it is small, but when it gets bigger and the waves have more consoquences you have to watch out for a number of things: the rock wall just a few feet away from the take off zone, the locals as they arn't that friendly when a blow-in enters the water and doesn't show respect (especially when the break next to it is a heavilly localised bodyboarding break)
Same as Snapper Rocks, very nice spot for the whole family. Public areas for picnic's (public barbecues and lavatories available), same with free public showers. |
| |
General |
this spot is worth a try
hell fun, come on down and watch when it fires cause it is really cool to see people get launched on 10m from shore, it is only one peak though so any outsiders to surf may not be very welcomed.
If Snapper Rocks is doing its thing but is way to packed with stand up surfers, give froggies a try if the tides and winds are just right.
(remember usually very shallow, try to avoid this spot if it's low tide and your board is a stand up that features big chunky fins. |
