Waves of 1.6 m/5 ft are observed throughout the entire beach, bounded by 50 m/164 ft high cliffs, fronted by wide rock platforms. The waves and the sand creates a beach, characterized by a bar, usually cut by 4-5 beach rips. The northern rip at Cooks Hill is considered to be the most prominent one.
