Additional Information
park you car at the boat ramp and swim off the boat ramp.
Atmosphere
A really shallow break. can only work on low tide. A lot of urchins on the bottom but a really hollow barrel when it works. Only a short wave but you will get the pit of you life.
General
one of the best barrels around! not that many people on weekdays, but when its good everyone is there. Make sure to come early if you know it will be good otherwise you wont get a wave. remember don't bother coming here on anything but low tide, it wont work on high. Be carful of the urchins on the bottom and have fun!

and then... - ADDING TO THE "NO PIER" DEMOLITION THEY HAVE CLOSED OFF THE ROAD ENTRANCE TO THE CARPARK NEAR THE COAL TERMINAL... FUCKING LOCAL GOVERNMENT... BEEN CLOSED FOR A MONTH NOW... HAVE FUN EITHER: A) WALKING FROM GOLFCOURSE B) PADDLING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BREAKWALL C) PADDLING THROUGH TOM THUMB LAGOON.. I ADVISE NOT THOUGH IT RUNS ALONG THE STEEL WORKS AND U COULD PROB CATCH SOME THREE EYED FISH ON YOUR WAY THERE.. OR D) GET OVER THE BREAK...I CHOOSE THE WORK WHEN THERE = GOOD BANKS
