so crappppp - i dont know why congo gets talked up so much theres like 50+ sharks lurkin round every bloody corner and the waves are so bad, theres this lush beachie down the coast a bit called onnie or "one tree" at tuross. its amaazing with sucky barrels that workks on almost every type of swell, also there is only one wind that can get into this break and its offfshooreee!!!! congo is scary - with wave hogging locals and crazy snaking groms and crowds that are unbelieveable and packed why would you surf here!

serious insect activity - watch out for insect activity. large headland dwelling variety with pointy spurs protuding from elbows. listen for incessant chatter as it approaches beach.

Heavy locals - Inconsistent, very short wave, small takeoff area, easily crowded, very unfriendly locals, regular shark sightings
