Kelly B	If the rock cuts and sewearge infections dont kill ya the giant squid who lives in the caves might. Locals reckon he lives on the mako sharks which feed around the reef.

FEATURE UPDATE: we now show red swell icons for 'open sea' swells that are travelling in an unfavourable direction for the surf break. In places, these swells may still wrap around coastlines and produce smaller waves at some breaks. They are also significant for windsurfers and other water users that tend to venture further off-shore.
