??? - just wanting to enquire where is this place and are those different details above such as correct swell direction/wind/how big it gets actually true
ive basically been informed by the numerous comments before that this spot really isnt worthwhile as the core of big swells wont be going to this little harbour. however it has caught my attention and i would like to go down and have a geeze sometime just to have a little look into whether or not the myths are truthful, if u could help it would be much appreciated
