general information
First Cousin of Fairy Bower. This break lies further around the point and really only breaks in the larger Southerly swells. Ridiculous overcrowding at Fairy Bower encouraged surfers to venture further around the point, first to Deadmans, then Winkipop and finally this journey reached an illogical conclusion at the mythical Blue Fish Point.
A swell with a minor easterly component or better will ensure that the breaking front of swell energy will commence right in the corner of the point before spreading out to Fairy Bower. Take offs can be critical as the wave tends to barrel upon takeoff, nearby rock shelves, reefs and cliffs call into question the status of anyone who buys it out here until they surface. You are deemed to be critically injured unless proven otherwise - hence, Deadmans.
On epic days, the wave can connect right through to the Fairy Bower section, a ride of over 200 metres. Access via a well timed cliff jump near the entry point for Fairy Bower.
