Additional Information

it's a classic narly wave with a shallow take of and a hollow right hander. The break is known to hurt people.

Atmosphere

Doesnt break all year round, but when the conditions are right provides a good alternative to the crowds of Perth. Strong localism may deter some, respect the locals - they've been there a lot longer than you!
