Desert Pipe
Edit SpotAbout
Funnest wave ever!
Atmosphere:
Unreal. Every wave you get a pit.
Additional Info:
Depends on sand build up but can get very good when it is in the right place. Looks like mini Black Rock when its on. Picks up lots of swell and a good option when everywhere else is small. Tends to max out over 3-4 foot but if all the elements are right can hold bigger swells

Its at Sheringa Beach, which is off the highway at the town of Sheringa, which is between Elliston and Port Lincoln. You take the road to the beach, then as far as you can go, you may have to walk for a bit futher if the road is blocked off, its situated at the base of a cliff.. an epic little wave in shallow water
