Additional Surfing Infos |
| | paddle 5-600m to get to the break (fortunately not through breaking waves!)
take care - there are 3 rocks in the lneup that you need to watch out for, but its pretty obvious where they are
breaks best in a bigger swell on low tide - on smaller swells, especially if the tides in, it gets very close to the rocks
watch out for the ravenous swarm of sandflies that live on the Island and feast on surfers....

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Spooky - a long, long way offshore, grunty waves when the swells up, unpredictable bottom shape
Great wave when its working, but you'd need to surf it a lot to really get it figured out - not exacly user-friendly! |
