general information

Midges is a little further south and out back of Centre Peak and Tombstones. It's from the same fold of wave type too; heavy, hollow and square - and long, memorable rides. It's a killer of a paddle and a serious wave when you get there, only for the experienced among you. Check it on a thumping southwest to west swell and a southeasterly wind, it will have a wave on all stages of the tide.
