Chiton Rocks
Edit SpotAbout
not amazing but quite fun
Atmosphere:
good spot when on and sneaky right scan barrel nicely the occasional barrel and when offshore can be a fun wave
Additional Info:
If sand is right of over the reef and rocks can be a nice left and right that leads into the usually heavy ass shorey. But at average it is a short punchy waves that gets messy when onshore.
if middleton has pumping waves it doesnt always mean this stretch does it is quite fickle and can be suprisingly dead flat sometimes
