General Description
Average beach break on the south side of the Banks Peninsular. Suitable for surfers of all standards. Doesn't get too big but can provide a nice powerful wave on a larger swell. Worth a look if Magnet is busy or not very good.
Needs a southerly swell to reach the beach, offshore in a northerly. It's quite well protected from the wind.
Generally pretty much empty on a week day.
