Additional Information
Without a doubt the most beautiful surf location in Victoria. You paddle out with the rip next to the 12 Apostles and sit looking at the magnificent cliffs and fun, powerful A frame waves. If it flat here, it is flat within 300 miles of here. Closes out on larger swells and the clean up sets will nail you, if you aren't sure of your skill, then don't go out as no one will rescue you here...
Atmosphere
Show respect to the locals here and all your dreams will come true. If you hail from the Torquay area, it is probably better not to admit to this around these parts...
General
Very special, very fragile, requires protection and respect. You can get the waves of your dreams here.....

%#$@*&@#%*$& - Man the locals are crazy around here. Was told about a little place not far from gibbos through a farm, went there, had a great surf and got back to find all the tires slashed and the wind screen smashed on my mates 4 x 4. The guys are nearly as crazy as the waves around here.. watch out for both.
