Oilies
Edit SpotAbout
one of my favourite spots. Had heaps of good surfs here
Atmosphere:
very good surf spot can choose left or right of the break wall. Works on most swells. nice long rolling wave. Does barrel in different sections. Lots of surfers and some bodyboarders. Don't drop in not a good idea.The atmospheres awesome when you get the spot just you and your mate at sunrise no ones out and you have all the clean waves to yourself.
Additional Info:
park your car on the breakwall. To surf well you got to be good especially on big days.Watch out for sets there unexpected on big days.
