Brighton - Bluff
Edit SpotAbout
Cooks, no other words said
Atmosphere:
Just fisherman on the shore, locals are very protective of this spot. Scarey wave, like pipeline but breaking right
Additional Info:
Park at the end of brighton beach. The wave may look like its going to close-out but just go for it, you will get such long barrells.Paddle straight out onto the peak you want to surf. If it is big, you need careful timing, it breaks hard. It most works on a smaller swell, ground swell or North Easterly wind swell. On low tide it gets hollow, and bowls nicely.
