general information

One of the best spots around both for wave quality and consistency. It serves up peaking left and right barrels breaking over offshore sandbanks for the avid surfer to feast greadily upon. Mid tide on the push is best but watch out for the groynes at high tide on your way back in. Also locals can be a bit competitive here and watch out for the fish.
