general information

A nice long point break and a good alternative to Arugam Bay. It breaks over sand close to the beach so at the end of your ride simply step off onto the beach and run back to the point. Has some good performance walls and barrel sections on bigger swells, it's best at mid to low tide unless the swell is macking. It's a 500m walk unless you have a 4WD, any of the locals at A-Bay will be more than happy to help you out.
