Very gnarly reef probably the most hollow in the south west, Gets powerful and fast but must be clean, Be very careful where you fall off as this is a very shallow sharp reef. Less than knee deep in places. Can be spectacular when big, The line up stays in the same place, It just sucks harder and thicker. Peaks shift around a bit and you do not want to be caught inside.

six feet offshore
i was working at the school with naughty kids one day i rocked up to pick em up and take em to falmouth and walked into one of the classrooms out the back and my friggin jaw dropped, it was six feet easy and firing just perfect, i now live in oz so dont worry boys i know what firing looks like... There was knowone out and by the time i finished work and drove all the way home to get me board it was dark.. I skived off the next day but it was two feet and onshore. It was still good though and there seemed to be a horseshoe shaped wave a bit further down that some guy was tearing up .. This must of been 1999 in the winter i think. I will never forget that wave its was F?:"{##$g garn off.....
