general information

On the western side of Cape Schanck are some awesome left handers that can hold their own in a thumping swell. They break over kelp covered rock ledges and it a bit of a cliff scramble to get to them, however, you will be rewarded with some heavy cylinders and heart-in-your-mouth moments. It's best in east winds, though the cliffs offer protection, and low tides.
