Andrew from Australia

“An ever changing beach with many breaks depending on the banks.Will hold up to 6ft but 3-5 is best. Good long walls to work with and barrels. The local kids rip it up when its on. Can get busy. Beware of the rips they are strong. Sharks have been seen but no attacks. A great place to surf with very variable conditions depending on size. Powerfull waves be careful.”
