Additional Surfing Infos |
| | there's a rip on the left that takes you straight out but don't be afraid of the rocks! sometimes theres a lot of small waves right on the beach with loads of little kids so watch out for the lil' learners dudes. the shape of the beach changes every day nearly so its allways a new wave. the big 'uns are out a bit further though and can be hard to get to because even the small waves out here pack a punch, but trust the rip. its safe, really!
