Kennett point
Edit SpotAbout
This is my fav break, being somewhat in experienced, it provides a great learners wave, but everyone can get some nice long rides.
Atmosphere:
It has a great atmosphere, with mostly locals using the break. Most people know each other out in the water, and everyone is up for a chat.
Additional Info:
Find the take off point, and stay there all day. Dont ride this wave on smaller days, or on higher tides. As the rocks on the point will become a problem.
Try to ride the wave all the way to the beach, then walk up around the point and paddling becomes obsolete
