Toro's
Edit SpotAbout
Talk to Toro Havini at www.bougainvilleadventuretours.com.au about staying at the guesthouse. The guesthouse will be completed in April 2015. There is opportunity to surf other breaks in the area that have never been surfed before.
Atmosphere:
The channel makes it easy to paddle out but can tend to suck you out to sea if you don't paddle parallel to the shore.
Additional Info:
It needs a mid to high tide as it tends to get shallow and close out on a lower tide. Depending on the swell direction you will get hollow barreling or peeling waves going in either direction. You can get a wave on either side of the channel if the direction is suitable.
