 Additional Information

Bumboras is a good learners wave and the spot to go if the surf is too big elsewhere on the island. There is a gentle right and left breaking down the either side of the small bay. It never gets too big because waves above 3 foot close out outside the bay and reform with less power than the other Norfolk breaks. At high tide the outside section of the left can offer a good ride for more experienced surfers - there is a steeper barrel section if you sit deep and ride as the wave rounds the corner, before it fattens out in the bay. I stepped on a sea urchin here and had spines in my feet for 2 months, so like anywhere on Norfolk, try not to hit the bottom.
