general information

A true adventure and not for the faint of heart. Take a boat and ply the west coast south of Darwin. During the cyclone season or the peak of the major well season it is common for systems to bend around the corner here and deposit favourable NE energy along the points and bars. Shattered Strand works so well as it is essentially a sand / rock island bordered by deep Indian Ocean water. The energy arrives fresh from the west having peeled away from the usual Antartic to Bali express route.

Tiger sharks and crocodiles are some of the nasties that are a reality in this part of the world. Having serious backup in the form of a designated spotter and shooter on the beach is a must.
