The Wreck

About

Locals here are idiots.

Atmosphere:
Great wave.

Additional Info:
Not to be confused with the Wedge, the Wreck is also a wedge, but with a lot more going for it, when it breaks. Not as consistent, but a much longer ride and better form. The Wreck is in the corner just on the east side of Robberg. Has similarities with Dunes - which probably makes it the best beach break wave around Plett. Does need a bigger swell to wrap in, or a more southerly or southeasterly swell. Waves bounce off the peninsula and peak off the wreck forming wicked A-frame barrels.
