Winkipop
Edit SpotAbout
A++ If you get it uncrowded, buy a lotto ticket. worth it tho.
Atmosphere:
Crowd's descend on this place like no other in Sydney. Pick your spot, talk to the locals and you may score a couple of the best rides ever. Otherwise paddle out and watch the psycho's surf Deadman's (one wave further around) or the inside bowl at Winki for multiple second barrels.
Additional Info:
Take a big board and avoid suck rock. On a great day you can make it through from Winkipop through to Fairy Bower or 'Racecourse' where you'll really need to hold your best speed trim to make it. Potential 300m+ waves but ultra rare.
