Needs solid easterly swell to get good. The outside bars are deep which focuses the waves into dredging peaks on the shorey. Best for bodyboarding, just take the drop get a short intense barrel then paddle back out for more. Occasionally it wedges across for longer rides.
Overview
Atmosphere
This place is where you go when the coast is maxed out and you cant handle the crowds at the Main beach. Is always uncrowded because of the heavy shorey which is unsuitable for kooks.
General
This is my favourite wave in the Mount/Papamoa area if I cant get to the Island. Just a soul surfers spot with no hassles and lots of grunty shorey barrels.
