Additional Information
This supposed "world class break", has not broken since the 60's!It would have to be 6 ft at nearby Orewa for this to work, however since it is never that big, it has probably only ever broken 5 times or less. A totally mythical wave.Dont bother going here unless a cyclone is sitting off the coast.
Atmosphere
This is one of a multitude of spots in the vicinity, that break once every 10 years. You are more likely the get classier and more reliable waves at Milford or Takapuna.
General
It isn't a break, just a dream!
