Slade Point
Edit SpotAbout
don't bet on it.
Atmosphere:
i lived at Slade Point for 12 years and only saw the point break nicely a few times. a couple of big rocks off the point block most of the potential.
Additional Info:
only breaks around high tide during howling south-easters and cyclones. worth a look when Lamberts Beach is out of control.
