- Localism
If its on, everyone will know about it. One peak only, so 5 people is a crowd. When theres 30 people, it's just daft.Do not ever come here because it is full of dodgy geezers and goons so if you are thinking about coming here. Think again!
Atmosphere
Bollocks.Nice spot to sit and watch the fishing boats leave the river. Banks can change from one minute to the next, so check it every five minutes.
General
I live here so I know that it is seriously shit. On its day it can be great, but most the time its just brown putrid water and lots of people.

West beach - been riding at west beach for quite a while now but alot more frequently the past few months, its a good little local spot on its day but does seem to get blown out quite easily anything over a 6!both friendly surfers and boarders here, as long as respect is shown.
