Description

Fantastic spot- when its on- Reasonablyexposed East Coast break- picks up swell from N through to SE. HEAVY beachbreak- when the swell is up on the EC- the swell rolls in from deep water and jacks up about 30m off the beach and hits sandbars- Banks can depend obviously on weather conditons- reasonably shifty sand bars- peaks up and down the beach- Gets Really hollow when the swell get up to the 1.5m mark (4-6ft) with an offshore wind (SW-NW ) Never really crowded- usual story dont drop in on people- if someones up and riding fall off the back- Pick a bank and go hard!- Barrell city when the conditions are right!
