 Access

Head over to Thunder Point and go walk to the lookout, when your at the lookout look to the right and you'll see some shallow rocks theres also a right on the left of the lookout. Wait for it and you'll see a huge left barrel off a wave. Walk down the cliffs and have a good paddle which is around 500m from the rocks. Not many people know about this wave so crowds aren't a problem. Sharks are a very big problem as the whale carcass and pier.

Awesome break for a barrel when the other spots aren't working. Long paddle but worth it.
