Additional Surfing Infos
 Far away from all Civilisation, I came along this spot while doing to long drive from Perth to Melbourne and back. Very nice spot, don't attract sharks. Lots of sharks and are renowned for them, also be careful of the locals, they deserve alot of respect.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Great surfboard shaper Paul Gravelle lives here and his boards are very popular among the locals. Very Desertish scenery and hot most times except it winter, It gets cold! Only go out if it's good and has people out. Less chance of being eaten ;]. Low chance, but still. Have fun surfers! (No Lids)
  General Respect the locals and be careful of sharks, not a big chance of seing one, and not many fatalities (about 2). One of the best surf spots in Australia (Regarded as that) and for all those Die Hard Surfers, stay at cactus beach Tent Place, Firewood and showers (Outdoor) Provided.

Ha
If ur crazy u can surf cactus every day. I've been there 10 times and never seen a swell too small to fiddle on. It's an easy ride up to 6 ft and a bit gnarly over that. Mostly closes out at 10. Locals aint nearly as bad as the cocky interstate hotshots. It gets awful busy in terrorist season so stay away or visit in winter.

Cmon Guys, I'm 13
Give us a break, hardly anyone will get there and let alone have the balls to get out there. Its a scary wave and the locals are just as scary if you don't give them respect. Sorry if I have annoyed you adding the spot.
