This spot is predominantly a left, but there can be a bit of a right as well.
It peaks on a patch of reef that gets drier with increasing swell and then breaks over sand. The sand can be a bit fickle, but there will always be a wave here
Deceptive
This is a bit of history really - it happened so long ago but could still happen today. A mate and I had spent the night in Busselton with some friendly ladies and in the morning we went straight to "The Other Side of the Moon", which was its only name then. We did this cos the day before was a really small swell. From the top where you park you can see the break in the far distance and we figured it was 4-6 ft. faces and walked the track down to the beach. You can't see the break once you leave the car. We got to the beach and paddled out - nobody else there and it seemed like being an unreal session. Some bigger waves stood up outside and we paddled out and out and out. They just got bigger until it was pushing non stop 10-12 foot ugly sand suckers with weird currents happening. We were stuck outside for about half an hour, there was no way you could take off on the mongrels on 5'8'' twin fins. Eventually we paddled in flat strap behind a smaller one, took a couple on the head and then foamed in to the beach feeling lucky to be alive. Moral of the story - Sit on the beach for a while at this spot and check the sets. Women (nice ones) caused that....usually we would wake up at Yal's and know what the swell was doing. Nobody else would have come there all that day because of the swell size. Screaming in space? Later we got suicide Marg's at about 6 ft.
