Secret Beach
Edit SpotAbout
It can be fun sometimes but is just a muck around spot to maybe catch some sloppy waves with your mates.
Atmosphere:
It is a dog beach so bring your friends along for a muck around if you are desperate to get into the water. These beaches are very quite and calm in summer so bring the family and the dog along for a swim and a walk along the beach, even a fish.
Additional Info:
This spot os quite easy to catch and is normally a storm derived wave but every now and then you might get a bit of swell just sneak around the capes and head towards you but only when the capes and that area is huge! Sometimes in winter the river runs out at high speed creating a force making the rivers bigger and wider barrels if you are lucky. The wind hardly comes from the southwest after a norwesterly wind/storm. If you dont see it it is probably not breaking at all.
Location
Loading...Access
It is the first Groyne to the left of the hospital. There is a car park across from the second bridge that goes over the top of a drain/river running of into the ocean. You may park at the hospital car park meaning you have to walk 50 odd metres to the spot along the beach or park in the car park direct from the spot which may be hard to find but if you know the area should find it with ease.
