3 Stars - Are you kidding - When you see this spot at 6-7 feet plus, with a light east to south easterly feathering it, you'd give it 5 stars. At that size the barrel opens up right through the inside section (Which tends to shut you out on smaller and choppier days). I've watched guys get barreled off their nut right through from bottom turn to kick out, a distance of over 100 metres. This wave has got to be one of the heaviest and best right handers in the state on it's day.

name? - Does the bay that south point and north point surround have a name? If so, could somebody tell me what it's called?
Cheers
