Southside - Sawtell
Edit SpotAbout
great spot heaps of waves
Atmosphere:
the spot suits boogers and stand ups, easy to cheak out from the road on the headland.
Additional Info:
surfing it is very easy because surfers take the wider waves while the boogers can have a go at the wedge that usually is working. Park up on the headland or in the carpark, plenty of parks.
very fun spot
