GOOD STRETCH OF BEACH WITH PLENTY OF BREAKS LEFT AND RIGHT ALONG A STRETCH OVER A MILE ACCESSABLE BY CAR OR FOOT.DECENT SIZE WAVES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WITH FEW GROMMITS EXCEPT OVER SCHOOL BREAKS. GENERALLY NOT A BAD SPOT FOR A PADDLE AND FAIRLY REGULAR SWELLS ESPECIALLY IF A GROUND SWELL, OR IF THE SOUTH WEST HAS BEEN WORKING FEW DAYS PRIOR TO PICK UP THE SURF.
