Additional Surfing Infos
 Wave quality suffered substantialy after Hurricane Julliete. Sand from arroyo flow covered reef. Little more than a glorified close-out. With the elimination of El Tule and very few spots in the area, it gets crowded quick. If you expect this wave to work at 6 foot forget it!! Gunna needs to be 8-10 closing out before this place even starts to break properly. I have surfed it oon huge swells at 8-10 foot and believe me its a wave for the brave. Awesome water movements and dropps that take your breth away. Thsoe that posted here at only 6foot and bag the wave have not surfed it in the right conditions. Its a big wave reef/bay and needs huge swells. other wise go surf Port phillip bay and bag that!
  Overview
  Atmosphere Very intense localism. The gang mentality is alive and well. If you enjoy riding behind someone who has all the style of a Rhesus monkey on crack, this is the spot for you. If you complain, the trouble starts and it can get ugly.
  General Used to be a fun wave. With the dramatic drop in quality and the ever increasing crowd pressure, I would pass unless you want to practice your 1 on 20 fighting skills.

No Worries
Zippers is a super fun wave. I've surfed it in all kinds of conditions from waist high to double overhead. I own a condo there, and if you're not going "on the cheap" you should check it out. If you want to catch Zippers firing and get some waves to yourself, your best bet is to rent right on sight.

I once got burned at Zips and lost the skin off most of my knee. Luckily the local kook who burned me got burned (on the same wave) buy another local kook sponger and lost the skin off most of his head. He was balling very loudly.

That was before I bought the condo & figured out the session timing thing.

Check out my site for some good zips pics as well as east & west cape.

wake up early
if you wake up early you wont have to deal with the locals if you try to surf in the afternoon you might get an ass kick...
