Headlands
Edit SpotAbout
The take off is easy (no freefall/airdrop) long wall ahead to play with but must keep you speed. At the end there is a really heavy A frame bowl that pitches over and spits like nothin else. Best wave i have surfed besides the island. Bloody sick. On a good day every wave will spit and its not too crowded. i have had it perfect with 3 others out.
Atmosphere:
very clean water. brilliant. green and black bottom makes high speeds fun. great views of the headland.on a sunny winters day with light off shore winds it is picturesque. Usually a really nice crew of bodyboarders cheering everyone on. really colourful bottom but also alot of marine life eg. sharks, stingrays and the odd groper and maybe a few blue ring octopus.
Additional Info:
Take off on a low tide can be a fair drop when the swell is around 4ft. deepends on the direction of swell how to set up. NE its should barrel sick the whole way down the ledge with a very shallow bowl at the end sometimes dry reef. Keep your speed up.easy to get out through the channel.
Easy take off. Carve your way for around 10 seconds then the bottom drops out of the wave and you can backdoor a epic crystaline a frame with one mo fuk of a lip that can really make some wipeouts a bit of fun.
