General Description

The waves here can get really good when the swell is right. It breaks cleanly and you can get very long rides. Usually from Spring to Autumn is the best time. There are a few point breaks here. However do watch out for boulders the size of houses around here. You can't miss it. Apart from that, it is generally quite safe as it is sand bottom. You will find most of the Guai Lou (Westerners) surfing here. As there are many western surf shops here.
