general information
A good quality yet more user friendly wave than other waves in the area. This spot kinda put this coastline on the surfing map and is a well known name in Australian surfing, making it a little more busy than other waves around, not that it's ever packed here compared to the likes of the Queensland Points. It's a steady takeoff followed by a gutsy walling ride. Pay a bit of respect to the locals and you'll have a good trip, though it is notoriously sharky and there have been fatalities here.
