take off really late and if you make the drop high speeedline through massive barrel but dont worry about the rock that pokes up because it will go underwater before you reach it
Atmosphere
not much atmosphere because you will probably be surfing by yourself anyway
General
only go out if you like great whites and perfect lefts

Shit Scared - Surfed here the 6th Dec 07 and never going back. Saw the biggest shark in 6ft of water, probably 4 to 5mts long with big white belly; just turned on its side and swam away. My luckiest day ever. They reckon because of the dredging in the channel entrance to Port Phillip Bay, is the reason for these big sharks. Avoid Lonnie at all costs. P.S. lots of seals around looking like surfers too..
