Wollongong - Connies
Edit SpotAbout
Only seen a few people get pitted here ever, it usually doesn't offer much in that aspect but good for people to learn to surf reef on. And in case you want to know, I live across the street from it and have watched people surf it for years from my loungeroom.
Atmosphere:
Not much to it, take off, go right, make the section or straighten out. Get an almost barrel then paddle back out. Popular with the younger ones, has a good "watch your mates catch waves" feel to it while being a good place to get comfortable surfing reef.
Additional Info:
Paddle out from the pool if its big, pull off before it closes out onto the rock ledge.
