Patonga point
Edit SpotAbout
i think this is the best surf ever, but ive only seen it this good twice where it just sits at 1ft most of the time
Atmosphere:
great spot watch out for the fishermen
Additional Info:
It only works when the tides are falling or rising.It all depends on how fast the tides have been moving because it moves the sandbanks.
