The Moat
Edit SpotAbout
Awesome break for a barrel when the other spots aren't working. Long paddle but worth it.
Atmosphere:
Ask locals for Thunder Point.
Additional Info:
Make sure you don't straighten out and you have to commit other wise you'll end up on the rocks.

Head over to Thunder Point and go walk to the lookout, when your at the lookout look to the right and you'll see some shallow rocks theres also a right on the left of the lookout. Wait for it and you'll see a huge left barrel off a wave. Walk down the cliffs and have a good paddle which is around 500m from the rocks. Not many people know about this wave so crowds aren't a problem. Sharks are a very big problem as the whale carcass and pier.
