Cottesloe
Edit SpotAbout
Like i said i reckon its better than Hawaii when it has its day.
Atmosphere:
Amazing atmosphere! Crysal clear most days and the groin to the right stops all heavy winds
Additional Info:
This is the ultimate beach. Better than pipeline i reckon when it works really well. Super packed but and the bodyboarders out there dont take much nonsense as most of them are better than us surfers!
