About

Nothing better when its on.

Atmosphere:
No-one on the beach - just the sandstone cliffs. The best away from it all spot on the Peninsula.

Additional Info:
On its day Spooks can be a fantatstic wave. Once the sand is piled in correctly over the reef 4-6' and offshore.One of the Penninsulas classic waves on its day. Can get hollow, big lip tubes. The left were legendary in the 70's, but for the past 20 odd years its mainly been rights cranking off the flat reef on the other side or the banks that form in thee middle of the bay. Can be a nightmare with crowds when the take off zone is small and the locals are around. Beatifull islolated spot still as Sorrento and Porstsea get more developed.
