kane sorrell from Australia
“This is a nice beach break; good for an early morning surf usually until about 10:00-11:00, because of the exposure of this break the winds kick in at about 10 or 11 and ruins the surf. A few spots down the beach a little bit if you can go for a little bit of a walk. Sometimes sharks and rips. Can get a barrel or two on a big day. :)”
