general information

A top qualty surf spot and regarded as one of the best on the east coast. It's the access to the surf spot here that's the trickiest part as the wave is located on an isolated and uninhabited island. You have one of two choices, 1. Take the long and lonely paddle across the inlet mouth, which has strong currents,or 2. Beg, borrow or steal a boat ride across. Either way when you get there, if conditions are right, you should find a peak with a long, walling and workable left or a slightly shorter hollow right.

Prime conditions are a northeast swell and northwest winds from low to mid tide on the push. Oh and there are usually plenty a talented locals on it.
