Shark Island
Edit SpotAbout
Its classic in the winter months but the lefts are the go with the summer NE swell and 4 the summer surfin kooks that get there on the train at around 6:30 and crowd every funkin spot in the nulla out to the max.
Atmosphere:
Atmosphere is usually crap because of all the bodyboarders thinking there better than each other so its usually like ' oi, get the hell off my wave' even if your inside them and in prime position, so just shut up and wait 4 the right one.
Additional Info:
ure a psycho if u go this break, very hardcore reef made of sharp rock and cunji. Extremely shallow, out the back, about 2 m deep, then sucks up on dry reef, hardcore break.
Take of peak cruble when it gets to around 5 ft then you drive through a barrel over shallow cungi covered reef called whitrock then IF you have make that then you ride high on the wave face through the infamous surge.
