Bombers
Edit SpotAbout
V-good and i a challenge to surf.....get away from the crowds at lyall.....you can take-off on any wave without the hassling of Lyall. Rip and have fun!!!!!
Atmosphere:
There is rarely anyone out as when this spot fire,s often breaker is too....go out with a buddy....cold and windy so bring gloves, hood etc. worth the risk as there are stand up barrels on hand and on big groundswells is definitely as epic wave......best from may-July..
Additional Info:
There is a car park nearby and you just have to walk over the rocks to the water.....when paddling out you will likely have to duck-dive some whitewash. it is a very steep take-off and you cannot afford to go straight.....tuck in tight under the lip as it is a very fast wave..dont go out unless you are comfortable with the conditions..........thankfully the hospital is nearby and BP rescue is at lyall bay!
Location
Loading...Access
Bombers is a reef break about 80m from the rocks...To get out you have to paddle through some tumultuous whitewash and then out past the break....
