North Avoca Back Reef
Edit SpotAbout
when it works its really good but you cant charge it if its to big or breaking to close to the rocks coz u cant pull off. the arial photograph isnt backreef its cove back reef is further along.
Atmosphere:
This wave is over quick becaus its a reef surrounded by deep water. there is a sand bar normaly then about 10 m from the rocks the sand ends and becomes rock. its a really fast wave and is over in about 3-5 seconds as there is little to no room. its a 20 m wave maximum.
Additional Info:
BEWARE, the waves appear suddenly and suck up verry steep and there usual verry big. there is a mass slab of rock just to the right so u have to pull off before you hit it or your fucked and watch the rip or you will end up heading towards terrigal.
