The swell wraps around a small island about 200M offshore and then meets again on the inside at an angle which makes the swell form lots of fun peaks up and down the beach. So just paddle out and wait for a peak to hit as they come in all over the show. Usually it's abit smaller here compared to everywhere else.
Overview
Atmosphere
It's a popular Bodyboarding spot, as there are great ramps to hit off oncoming peaks. On the correct conditions the barrels are great on the peaks also, it's an easy spot to surf once you get a feel for how the waves break. When it over 4ft however it gets pretty heavy, and everything happens fast!
woo wee
i'd love to know where you guys snipered my stills of banks from?
