Edit SpotAbout
sick
Atmosphere:
Usually pretty good, but if the swell is really small and during the christmas period things can get a little hectic
Additional Info:
Windmills like Lighthouse is a great summer wave, when the swell is small, Windmills is great. The water is crystal clear and the waves can be really hollow. It is not uncommon to surf here with several pro surfers and local ripers.The walk is long and the flys can be unbearable, look out.
