- this wave can be good on its day, you sit right on the end of the breakwater catch the the mushy on shore swell and wait till it swings around the breakwater hitting the sand bar and then the west southwest off shore wind will produce a very sucky little barrel until it hits the deep water. always looks small from ngamotu,dont think any body can be botherd with it though

break water - goes off in huge storm swells a few times a year.when its on you could fit a big mac truck in the barrel.this is a serously big wave,and so fast i doubt its ever been ridden at size even using tow ins.
