Bashams bommie
Edit SpotAbout
It's really a soft reef break, recommend for adelaide guys before going to Yorkes and getting smashed or in other peoples way ; )
Atmosphere:
I surfed this place a few times, but never seen anyone else on it, probably because it isn't much of a break.
I reccommend it to beginners if middleton is too crowded.
It's a good place to learn about reef waves, rather than go out at Kings Head (where there are also definitely more sharks)
Additional Info:
Short right hand bombora reef break, bowly but not hollow. Non critical takeoff, starts to break quite small. No real dangers. Almost totally uncrowded.
