Port Douglas
Edit SpotAbout
Not sure how often it breaks, but i reckon in a cyclone, there might be a few fun ones. Not sure if i'd paddle out on my regular board as there are a lot of crocs about and dont really want to be dangling over the edge in the murky water.
Atmosphere:
just rocked in one day, moderate to strong south-easterly blowing. Maybe some 2 footers breaking on the open-exposed beach around the corner. The wave wrapped around the headland and made a clean, fun, really perfect-looking right on an underwater cement slab.
Additional Info:
watch out for crocs, box-jellyfish,sharks, boats, Smelly hippy tourists.
