General Description

Average beach break on the south side of the Banks Peninsular. Suitable for surfers of all standards. Doesn't get too big but can provide a nice powerful wave on a larger swell. Worth a look if Magnet is busy or not very good.

Needs a southerly swell to reach the beach, offshore in a northerly. It's quite well protected from the wind.

Generally pretty much empty on a week day.
