Kemp Beach
Edit SpotAbout
its a bit scary at times. like when you feel something big swiming underneath you or when you tryin to drop into an over vert face and land on dry sand.
Additional Info:
to surf this spot well you need to know how to take a beating. ive seen is 6 foot and breaking in 2 inches of water right onto the beach. but on other days it can break out a bit further. at least far enough to get a desent ride.
