Additional Surfing Infos |
| | when the swell, tide and wind is right this place really goes off. if your on a long board sit out a bit further from the take off so you can get and early one and steal all the grom's waves. if your short boarding i advise you to sit almost in the rip where there is usually a grunty take off peak, which allows you to get plenty of speed and line up your first turn.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
when this place is working and the sun is out It's like a dream come true! theres enough waves to go round and everyone is on a good buzz! when the blowhole is going off it some how resembles Snapper Rocks, Gold Coast. long fast rights all the way to shore! watch out for crowd in summer, it sometimes gets a little out of hand. |
| |
