Additional Surfing Infos |
| | park car in carpark just above spot. walk out on ledge off reef and jump from their into the water.nice wave when small, soft. when big goes off, big and pushy. The only time this spot ever gets real good is with huge 3m+ swell. And sometimes when the rest of the metro beaches are blown out with w'ly winds, this place turns on and can be an awsome wave with the w'ly winds, although being sloppy, can give you some sick left and right hand bombs. Huge steep take-offs are the go at northies on a big day.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Rocks and reef can be a big hazard, and getting in and out of the water can be a struggle, but yopu can generally just jump off the reef on the shore. Sometimes youll have to dodge rocks and reef poking out of the water when ur catchin a wave.Mostly surfed by locals though lots of randoms are appearing nowdays. locals are friendly wont give ya a hard time. sitting in the water paciently waiting for a set, at the top of the stairs someone whistles and shouts "out the back!". everyone looks out the back and you can see a hump in the water everyone paddles but few paddle for it. barrels like hell on the ledgy reef! |
