Browns Bay Bar
Edit SpotAbout
If you're looking for quality rather than size, this can be a good option.
Atmosphere:
Can be a very good wave, and since its a bar it will be a lot better quality than any of the beaches, and can produce consistently peeling waves on a good day
Additional Info:
Sheltered from swell comapared to other breaks. Can be very shallow. Watch out for the odd rock on the lower tides
