Edit Spot
About

this spot kicks ass you have a gorgeous left and a fast hollow right

Atmosphere:
the atmosphere is cool here and there are no pissed of locals as the beach is kinda private because of the campstite so is mostly visiting surfers here although there are a lot of bodyboarders

Additional Info:
park just outside the viex port campsite and walk through it. this will be about a 5-10 min walk. if your staying in the campsite you can be as close as a minute away from the break. the left is pretty easy to surf, sometimes you can have a nice late drop but weather you do or not it is always followed by a long walling wave which when i was there only sectioned at the end section. the right is about a 5-10 minute paddle out depending on the swell size and what the rip is doing and tides, one day when it was solid 8ft it was a 45 min paddle out but most of that was because of the really bad rip when it is big, but it did break a long way out. the break itself is a really fast barreling wave, you can get some very big makeable barrels. if you go about 200 metres north the bank is really shallow and the barrels are huge, heavey and realy thick lipped and it will always have a late drop beacause the jacks up all of a sudden
