Fergusons Beach Surf Photo: 'Kaihoka' by Rob Davies

Interesting option near Fergusons. A long walk and quite hollow lefts off the reef at the west end at low tide. Then quite long and less steep peeling lefts approaching mid-tide with a right reef at the other end of the bay at high tide and variable beach breaks in between. Felt like a summer day.
