Atmosphere:
Its empty out there for a period of the year but the passing cray boats in the season provide a great showing off opportunity.

Probably the biggest surfed spot in geraldton it gets big.... Dont get caught on the inside cause your in for it then. Study the wave on the way out for first timers cause knowledge of the wave is very usefull. Sic barrells are in for the people who know how to surf it . Hollow powerfull backdoor sections provide deep, fast rides.
