Southport
Edit SpotAbout
Go to South Coast and surf Waits or something only surf here if its gonna be 4ft and offshore winds
Atmosphere:
Good spot if banks and swell size is good
Additional Info:
Flat most of the time but neraly always has good banks go on a 0.5ft day with easterly winds and the sandbank makes a small wave that looks like desert point (would be a perfect wave if u were an ant) and might be able to do this if the swell, wind and swell direction is right. The reef always has a wave and the beachies good at low tide.
Be careful of Sharks!!!Saw two 8ft Bronzewhalers in 1 sesh around here once
