Cat Bay
Edit SpotAbout
dont let the mals scare you but on a good day you have to be agressive.
Atmosphere:
the atmosphere is ok. the old blokes are nice guys but you might aswell call out party wave when a set comes in.
Additional Info:
make sure you dont drop in on the old blokes. they will either cut across you or cut your board and make sure you surf at high tide, no rocks exposed then
