The breaks here are for expert surfers only. For the best surfing conditions, you may want to surf the waves here if it is on low to medium tide when there is a north to north westerly wind blowing. Because of the size of the breaks here, surfers are advised to hit the waves, only if there is a lifeguard presence.

Even if you are an experienced surfer, you are strongly advised to abide yourself by this rule. Accommodation options and leisure activities are located around the spot, while the Innes National Park gives you a good chance to redefine your touch with nature.
