Stanwell park
Edit SpotAbout
this is the best spot i've ever surfed..i also recomend coalcliff reef round the corner. It can get ridicously good with a dredging shory and good banks out the back. care must be taken as the tremendous power of this joint is not to be taken lightly. i am an experienced slasher and can genuinely say this is the best break between coalcliff and bulga.respect the locals.aloha
Atmosphere:
good waves....locals are pretty laid back. the atmosphere in the line up is great usually just you and a few on a normal day but can get crowded on weekends and on good days and all locals are usually nice and will talk with ya. does it get any better ? thick lips, long walls,hollow pockets and crystal clear water mark this as one of the top surf spots in the world.thread island style pits all day then catch a feed of fresh fish in the lagoon for dinner!
Additional Info:
this spot is awesome...you dont even hav to paddle that far out...its so sucky making it a mad break for bodyboarders...sick shoreys..... just have fun its a really fun break with usually no crowd
