Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Watch out for rips and rocks.

    Tom Bassett-Eason from New Zealand
    “Good waves at low and high tide. Heaps of reef break around the area but mainly there is a long left that runs down the beach but that's after a long paddle. You have to get permission from the farm owner to walk through the farm to the break.”
