Redhead
Edit SpotAbout
Pretty fresh
Atmosphere:
Locals rule redhead, even being a local you gotta ease your way into being a surf local. Redhead is bloody tribal, watch out if your a town kid.
Additional Info:
Readhead picks up the most swell in the area and is really clean in the NE seabrease. Big beach and little beach can get really crowded, but you can always get a peak to yourself down the beach if you walk or have a 4WD
