Additional Information

Its a good spot for improvers and is quite a fun break. You can usually get barreled but most days its doesnt. Really steep fast take off over shallow reef ledge but breaks out into a deep channel like 100m

Atmosphere

rarely gets over 2m and is pretty mellow for rottnest.

General

great spot to learn and get comftorble with surfing over reef. Can get pretty hairy though.
