Jack from Australia

“Terrible place, never any surf, when there is it is small, go to the east or west coast and you will get World-class waves every week. This is a trash spot, and when there are waves there is always on-shore wind, when there is off-shore it is 1/2 a meter and in ankle-deep water.”
