The Well

About

This wave is incredible(??). With the hollowest and suckiest barrel surfed around the area(nope, not even close), which is the best area in Australia(seriously?), this wave can not be missed. Along with Elevators(Serious surfers will like this one, the take off is why it used to be called elevators in the1960's and 70's, now it's just boneys) and Easter(Pros only, it only starts breaking at 10 ft plus, and very rarely is decent below 15 or 20 ft) this section of coast cannot be missed.

Additional Info:
A grinding(FUN) reef break with a 'sporting'??(YOU JUMP OFF A LITTLE CLIFF, AND CLIMB BACK UP, tHE CAVE HAS GONE,SPLASH) entrance and exit...Dont go too deep until you know the wave well. You can easily get battered on the reef.(ONLY IF YOU ARE A KOOK)
Addendums by an old fart who used to surf it a bit.
