About

there isn't usually a good wave at mothecomb. just watch out for the local groms, they do get fiesty. bodyboarders aren't especially liked there unless they are well known or locals

Atmosphere:
it does suffer from a lot of severe localism especially from the groms who surf and live there. i wouldn't get too involved with them if they do drop in as last time i got my tyres slashed.

Additional Info:
it's not really worth the hastle if you live more than 25mins away as it is a very unreliable break that only realy works well on huge swells
