About

This spot cranks during summer and is heavy as on a good swell. not so good in winter but a lot more danger involved its heavier. Sometimes the bank will get washed out and the wave won't break for a while.. you'll just have to find another spot to surf for a few months!

Atmosphere:
This is easily one of the most published and hyped up bodyboarding waves in Australia. Due to all the overexposure there spot is often very crowded with 10-20 people all vying for a change at glory. Not uncommon to see pros and local rippers down here on even an average day.

If there's a few pros out there it's really not worth trying to surf it, but it is a pretty amazing place to watch the actions as the wave breaks just in front of the rocks where you can sit.

It's a sketchy spot to get in/out and can get pretty heavy, so be friendly to the locals there and make sure you don't get washed into the rocks as it won't be fun if you do! Thgis spot is for experienced bodyboarders only, no standups (your board will get broken) or kooks (you will drown or get your neck snapped) here for your own safety!

Additional Info:
Park up where the fishing guys usually are and jump out and climb down the groyne(the climb is pretty rough)
