Additional Information
Take a big board and avoid suck rock. On a great day you can make it through from Winkipop through to Fairy Bower or 'Racecourse' where you'll really need to hold your best speed trim to make it. Potential 300m+ waves but ultra rare.
Atmosphere
Crowd's descend on this place like no other in Sydney. Pick your spot, talk to the locals and you may score a couple of the best rides ever. Otherwise paddle out and watch the psycho's surf Deadman's (one wave further around) or the inside bowl at Winki for multiple second barrels.
General
A++ If you get it uncrowded, buy a lotto ticket. worth it tho.

- "Winky-Pop". "Manly" Beach. "Fairy" Bower. Who in the hell names these places?
sounds like 3 places that Gay Nude Guys would go to sun themselves.
