Sunnymead
Edit SpotAbout
fickle
Atmosphere:
Very rural feel great views along the rocky cliffline.
Additional Info:
Wave breaks out beyound point, the take off spot is small and the wave has a fairly mean closeout end section when the swell is running. It doesn't handle much size, although on the occasional good conditions is very elegant. Sunnymeade has the longest lulls in surfing history because the bottom is shallow offshore. It is basically a mal wave but can be fun for kids.
