summerlands (the other end ! )
Edit SpotAbout
a fairly fickle spot but if you luck out its well worth it
Atmosphere:
its a place i check if its northerly,with a moderate sw swell, incoming tide a few hrs after low and crowds at the other island beachies!
its well worth checking with a good surprise if ya lucky!
Additional Info:
the left is a short punchy wave with a sucky takeoff followed by a short hollow section and walley end section ( very tide dependent)
to the right of this there is a right and left hand peak which depends on sand build up and tide.
