Long Strand
Edit SpotAbout
Can be totally epic is off shore and a big swell but if onshore and wrong swell can be as gnarly as can get.
Atmosphere:
Don't go on Sunday as it'll be extremely crowded. Be carefull as it can be very dangerous so ignore the kooks there who think their pros.
Additional Info:
Usually surf at easterly side of beach beside lagoon. Easy acces by road.
