“Solly's outer reef gets good when conditions are right. A right break that has a fairly easy take off at high tide. When the tide gets lower, there is a big suck on the reef that gets quite hairy on the take off.
Careful if you get caught on the inside as there are rocks and lots of kelp to keep you tangled for the next set.”
