Additional Surfing Infos |
| | charge it at the bowling section, and pull in. Bowl section is when it starts turning around the reef passage. The reef seemed to have a boomerang type shape with lefts going diagonally down the line and a very deceptive looking fast right/closeout around the corner. The inside waves which broke from about 3-4 ft, had a nice open section at the start with a good wall which got faster and rounder the further you went down the line, until it eventually closes out on shallow coral. The sets tended to break in a couple of spots. The usual ones would break just as the inside ones, but about 30-40 yards further out and a bit longer and faster. These tended to be best ones at about 5-7 ft. I saw a few bombs come through which were a couple of feet bigger and went longer, and unriden. Every now and again there would be a few rogue sets which would break wide and more parallel to the reef. These were fast, hollow and makeable but shorter (get out before the end). The sets seemed to come out of the deep and just appear on the edge of the shelf, which made it hard to stay in position for them. And there is no channel to paddle through once caught inside. I also surfed it in fun, small 2-3 ft offshore/cross-shore. A great wave whichever the size.
