Fingal Spit
Edit SpotAbout
Nice wave.
Atmosphere:
Good wave, right hand barrels on bigger days.
Additional Info:
Its a pretty punchy sand bar, that gets pretty good in east swells and south winds. I surfed it at 3-5 feet, with good barrels on the inside, over about 100m+. It's mostly a right when bigger, but with both lefts and rights on smaller days. There are some strong currents around here, and the area is noted for sharks. Maybe high tide better.
