Muncha
Edit SpotAbout
just have fun when u surf this wave.i hate it when u get people out that just be d!ck heads to everyone & drop in & snake..
allso u will see these second sets coming in to the beach to your left when u are out muncha.these are hitting a reef known as 2 doller,or shallows forms on pritty much dry reef then it pops upon the reef and breaks for about 5 to 6 metres.very shallow but very soft reef..forms very fat lips.i say a miniture cyclops.have to see to believe
Atmosphere:
the atmosphere of this break is great..it takes about 5 minute to paddle out in the channel but u should just rock off.its alot quicker saving an amazing 1 minute off your paddle.but when u finally get out.u can just hear the people on the beach so its not very noisy.the wave sorta bends around the reef when it breaks so is really good for sprays & airs...well
Additional Info:
this spot is a right handed break thats hollow but not very heavy..when it picks up to around 4 to 5 foot it gets fairly hollow & a bit heavy but other wise anyone can surf this spot...make sure u take off on the first little wave that forms on the face otherwise u will just get thrown over and stuck in the inpact zone...ive been caught in it heaps..but yeh just have fun and take off deep.
