Surf Spots
Track 5 as we call it is the closest beach access just down the street from the villa. It's an exposed beach break that can be really fun depending on the banks.
Normally morning best before the wind gets up. Doesn't work in north or south wind.

The headland is the best point closest to the villa. Works well in southerly winds. Can break in several spots from the point down to the beachie. Gets crowded but can be super fun when working!

Multiple surf spots depending on wind and swell direction. Good for learning just off the river mouth.
In southerly winds try north of the point or the beach north of the river mouth.
In northerly winds the south 'backside' of the headland can be really fun. Also holds big swell when it is 4ft +. Paddle out along the rocks.
