general information

A very consistent and powerful surf spot. It offers up hollow, heavy barrels well in excess of double overhead is definatly for experienced surfers only when it gets sizeable. It's best to catch it at low to mid tide on the rise with a west wind. It's an awesome wave and a regional classic. Don't surf too near to the pier as the antisocial fisherman may use you for target practise with their lead casting weights!!!
