d-head reef
Edit SpotAbout
regional classic, barrels every time it works, such a secluded piece of treasure!!!
Atmosphere:
this is an empty spot so keep it that way! tucked away from those assholes at manly and works well in summer and autumn. very, very isolated so don't expect to be alone..... advice is to surf with friend to reduce your chances ;)
Additional Info:
very exposed to south swells, so always expect some clean up sets. don't catch the sets, catch the thick hollow slabs in-between sets and u easily get barelled
