Malabar

About

Malabar only works in huge swells, when it's about 6-10ft at nearby breaks(maroubra) it will be around 3ft+ at Malabar. But depends on swell direction.

Atmosphere:
Atmosphere is good until you see shit floating past you. Get's good on low tide. WAtch for urchins. Otherwise go have some fun, can get awesome.

Additional Info:
The main break at Malabar is a left hander that rolls over the reef and gradually dyng off into a channel but occasionally (rarely) the wave will break through the channel and into a shoredump. Although it's a ficle break, when it works it really works. When it's bigger try mid to high tides, low tide is better but, because it creates a nice wall, but i reco that you wear booties on low but.
