North Palm Beach
Edit SpotAbout
It's a great spot and usually uncrowded and it is common to surf for hours in good surf with no-one out.
Additional Info:
surf with a partner or group because help is not close to the break.
surf when the wind is under 10 knotts.
Great longboard spot when it's small, but over 3ft turns on great shortboard waves with a bit of grunt and power.

When you get to Palm beach park next to the ablutions. the spot itself normally breaks somewhere off the 2 large balck rocks toward the back of the beach. (Anywhere from 100m north of these to 100m south of these before you get to kiddies corner).
