A bit crowded these days
South point suffers from the handy and sometimes unfortunate quality that it still can fire when the Sou' Westerlies start blowing in the afternoon. As a result, if it is any good it will have 15+ surfers all over it. Weekends are worse. It starts to break when the swell hits 2.5 metres or more (lower swells will come into south point if they are coming from a westerly direction). Best size is 6-7 feet, and crowd thins a bit at this size. Any bigger, and it tends to become a bit of a washing machine. This place has a deceptively good barrel off the 'Bombie' that tends to collapse on exit, with a long soft wall after that. Newbies should try out husses in the bay. Very good wave to introduce the groms to the south west.

no kooks
south point is a sik break. on small swells theres a wave that breaks off the reef for about 100 metres. sik long rides on the lid and piss easy spins on the lid. if you make it passed the roks it feels soo good. on big swells the wave connects with the other breaks inside the wave, and u get rides for like 30 seconds+. Place goes off, locals are friendly and no crowds man. ps, dont get caught going over the falls near the rock, as u will most likely get your face mangled against the reef.
