Consistent spot picking up more swell than any other break in the area. Quality banks are provided courtesy of the River Avon which empties into the sea here. Surprisingly powerful, sometimes hollow and capable of holding a bit of size. There is a long right that breaks into the rivermouth at lower tides and a peak on the main beach
