portsea
this beach can get perfect sometimes
when the conditions are right there can be a healthy crowd even during winter
but summer is just full of kooks

portsea banks
This is my local break and I've surfed here for around 20 years and can honestly say that it used to have excellent and consistent banks that would hold up to 6-8ft. Then the National Parks decided to plant marram grass all over the sand dunes to stop erosion but what it did was stop the sand movement and creation of good sandbanks-now it's a rare day to have a good solid bank at Portsea-sad!!!
