general information

This spot needs a bit of anangle it the swell to peel well. A northeast swell can be good and produce a good left from time to time to the south of the pier. It will work on all tides but it's best from mid to just before high tide. Don't surf too close to the pier to keep the noddies happy and surfing is restricted to morning and evening in the summer.
