Sandend
Edit SpotAbout
Rad on a good swell with hollow rights and long lefts.
Atmosphere:
3 peaks. The best one is the left near the rocky point beside the harbour. There is a right the other side of the bay. There are many peaks on the beach. Can get crowded at weekends with kayakers etc. but from oct to dec when we get the best waves the summer surfers leave the water and youll have the place nearly all to yourself.
Additional Info:
Acess off the **** pipe just right of the harbour.
