Additional Information
A really good Reef thats sat on a righthand point. Its good at low tide with some shallow hollow waves, as the tide pushes it can get a bit backwashy although by then you can take off right out off the point with some very shallow heavy beasts coming through.
Park in the car park opposit the bay.
Atmosphere
It used to empty most of time years ago but now it can get pretty crowded and aggro with drop-ins. Weekends will definatly to be crowded if there is a wave.
