Newcastle - The Groper
Edit SpotAbout
personally i think it is the best spot in newy (even better than Harbour,pilo's,moon island) it is a great surfing spot.
Atmosphere:
groper is hell as i said the surge to the wave is amazing it produces the biggest air bowl at end of wave the atmosphere is great everybody on the beach just watches you unleash on the wave it rocks on.
Additional Info:
well when you jump of the rocks raedy to paddle out watch for sea urchins as i've steeped ona few myself. just leave your car at nobb's it is pretty safe there.how to surf is pretty easy when you get to become familiar with it it starts off with a surge and you go forward for about 10 metres then it sucks up into a hollowist wave it is quite good.
