Avalon Point
Edit SpotAbout
Good for an area (Perth) lackinga any real waves. Average by other standards.
Additional Info:
On its day, its a long wally left hander that joins with a right coming the other way (at the end).
Also name affectionately 'malvalon' due to the large number of mal riders who surf here.
Its fickle, but if you do catch it on, its worth its weight in gold. You need a large SW swell and SE winds. The bigger the swell the better.
Gearies its Cousin, needs even more swell, but when its working is better than Avalon
