Elliot River
Edit SpotAbout
Sick shacks, power and quality.
300 to 500m on a good day, hmmm, that would put you about 250 to 450m into the state forest.
The wave mentioned is a 200 mtr walk back to marengo direction from river mouth, you will see it smoking into the bay off a bombie out back, easy 300 on good day, never even thought of the rivermouth as a wave
Atmosphere:
Mad wave, no crowds. A rare quality left in a land of awsome right point/ reef setups. Get it good and u wont soon forget it.
Additional Info:
Lonely spot most days. Check after a big rain, sand pushes down onto the reef creating all time lefts. Can get very hollow and hollow equals heavy and shallow, sharky as well- u wont make it back to the car by yourself if u get crunched here, thats if the local boys havent torched it anyway
