Washaway
Edit SpotAbout
I think this spot is really fun once you get use to it
Atmosphere:
Its very differrent to manly and local beaches..why?
because its in the harbour...the waves come through the heads and hit washaway perfectly..especially on a good swell...
it can be really fun..and it can be really dangerous...theres also a little rock at the southern side of the beach that is sloped and produces some really fun backwash...you can get plenty of air on those things!!
Additional Info:
try not breaking your neck....and i sudgest not going in winter because the sand washes away and it breaks on bare rocks a couple of inches deep
