Description

A left hand reefbreak that needs upwards of 2.5metre N\NE groundswell.A Lefthander that breaks around the eastern end of Rabbit Island ,close to rocks ,and if you dont know the place,and blow the take-off, you might get the pounding of your life. Not recommened for inexperienced surfers because if anything goes wrong out there, it is a long way from the beach. Also there have been stories of sharks bumping surfers off boards and chasing windsurfers around. Offshore is SW and Low tide is the best. Remember, out of sight, out of mind....Rarely do the conditions come together for this place..
