Lassos
Edit SpotAbout
this spot is awesome, you gotta pick the right wave here otherwise you get screwed. huge wedgy barrels that are thick.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere at this spot is pretty cool cause you usually get a few tourists and locals watching from the break wall. there are rarely other surfers there. mostly a bodyboarding spot, but there are some surfers sometimes. bigger waves break further out
Additional Info:
park your car in the harbour and walk to the break wall closest to whalebone. easy to get barrelled but its easy to get dragged onto the break wall.
