sheep creek
Edit SpotAbout
I haven't surfed there for 16 years but i still savour memories of open barrels. Enjoy...
Atmosphere:
Take water with you...and food. Make sure you keep food in your bag. We have had the cows eat our lunch a few times.
Don't leave valuables in your car...If you see the farmer be polite...Don't leave any rubbish.
Additional Info:
Well, it's a safe bet if there isn't much swell around waits and Parsons, it will only be a little bigger here. It will be uncrowded... well now I've posted this report.. maybe not. I've surfed this place with a maximum of 10 people...once. Normally just the guys I surf with.

Assuming you can find the Waitping road which is well signed, continue past the paron's beah turnoff for another 5 km. The turnoff is at a right hand bend. Don't follow the tarred waitpinga road, go straight onto the dirt. There may still be a sign.
It's called Bullaparada Rd. and winds to dead end at a locked farmers gate. From there climb over the fence and choose either the left or right side of the gully to walk down. You will jump over 3 more barbed wire fences before you get to the beach. It's about 2 km. a special word, there are many big brown snakes in the area...
