general information

A 'could be epic' righthander breaking over a sand bottom outside the rocky outcrop at the north end of the main beach at Summerstrand. When working the wave starts to break behind the rocks and sucks up into a hollow barrel before shooting you out into a mellow end section. Short and intense but oh so good if it's on. Quality depends on sandbank quality behind the rocks. Mid to low tide is the best for barrel hunting. Head to Summerstrand Surf Lifesaving Club, and you can't miss it.
