Paddle out from the beach is the only option, 10-15 min at least, it's about 600 metres off shore.

Atmosphere
Arguably THE HEAVIEST break on the central coast,possibly the entire east coast. ive seen dudes surf this 30ft. Waves are thick and barrell, tide permitting. Because your so far from the beach it can be a bit scary, experienced surfers only.
