Its a heaps fun wave if you know how too surf it, just keep too your self, keep quiet and the locals will respect you. Dont try taking the locals sets.
Atmosphere
Not too bad atmosphere, the locals can be a bit rough if you piss them off, DONT drop in, and DONT snake, just keep to yourself.
General
I reckon this spot is pretty damn good fun to surf with a few mates.

Re: Locals Only - to NotEnoughRespeckt. I would be happy for everyone to stay away from forries. But on one condition. You now have to surf at only forries for the rest of your life. Keeping you away from every place i surf will make me a happy man.
