Back beach
Edit SpotAbout
Yeah its fun but when it gets too big it just closes out.
Atmosphere:
Its my home break where i learnt to booger. Good to close outs to bust off. Good barrels too.
Additional Info:
This spot has its good days and bad days. i suggest you go there just after a small swell when the sand banks are still there or surf the edge of a rip.

Just ask a local where the surf lifesaving club is or go to "BP Tarcoola" on the highway and when you turn off keep on going left turns.
