This is a heavy East coast reef break. It doesnt break often but when the troppys roll thru its the place to check. It will hold solid swells and is quite rocky around the take off zone. There is a left that rolls off the point and an A-Frame peak next to it which is generally bigger and heavier. Be carefull paddling out!. You have been warned.
Overview
Atmosphere
Locals are pretty good.. nice fish an chips up the road... for the keen surf the island at mathersons bay.. but it is very shallow!
General
I love it. Good when Big and heavy - the kinda wave to spook you a little.
I got worked there
I remember as a teenager getting worked at Daniels. I was totally schooled and definately got pummeled by the reef. However, saying that, this is 10 + years later of surfing now so maybe it wasn't that big?Anyway, fond memories of Daniels and all the northern spots. I remember 4 wd parking on the beach at forrestries and surfing my own a-frames...J

When good reefs go bad
It rarely gets heavy you say.Well when it does its a F&$#ing monster and kids dont try this at home i caught the biggest wave of the day at mid tide when it was roaring,slipped and landed flat on my ass. I couldnt walk straight for a week

watch out
this place can get super dodgy with 5 footers breaking in no-more than 1-2 foot of water. especially in one area where there are a couple of rocks almost poking out the water near that rocky headland thing
