Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
sickest waves in the state lie within 10-15 ks walk (or drive/ walk, if you can find the tracks )in each direction from here (lighthouse ) Most swell in the state and a shitload of headlands, bays, bombies, shipwrecks, reefs, and rivermouths. Get amongst it. Google some maps, check best wind directions, waves in the biggest and smallest swells. |
