Description

This spot works on Cyclone swells from the Pacific Islands which send swell right on this reef, Hence.. no Cyclones above,no surf. It can also work on big low depressions that form down the bottom of NZ and send big S/SE swells passing through this break and on it's way to Fiji.(The Bigger the swell the better it is) But because of it's remote location..abseiling would have to be one of your other favourite passtimes, but once you get out there..it'll be just you and your friends if they can abseil. (This spot is basically world class)
