General

This is a great little reef/point, but does not break very often. when it is on, provides, great waves, with tubes often and is a very bowly wave.
Once you have had a surf at Milford, head there for low tide.

Good times - Came out of my first barrel here. Nothing like being a grom getting kegged for the first time a stone's throw from home on a random swell. That was in 1995, never seen it break right though again
