Stark Bay

Edit Spot

About

Awesome spot. Don't drop in on me if i'm there =]

Atmosphere:
Beatiful Place. Awesome option for when the surf is absolute crap over in Perth. Take a boat over there for a weekend in the summer holidays or whenever. It might get pretty big in winter, but summer is definately best time.

Additional Info:
This is a great place to surf although it can get pretty shallow and there may be a few kook drop ins in summer. It is both a left and a right and can be very difficult to find. There is not obvious sightings for it. However, once a set comes it will slab out of the water.

Its a big left hander if its working very deep reef unless your on the inside section usually a wall that crumbles but sometimes opens up. Best on the low tide so you can get that barrel.
