general information

Located  at the northern end of Cayton Bay in front of the pumphouse. A fairly fickle boulder reef break that can produce some long walling fun left handers when working well and flick out the odd little barrel from time to time. Surfable only at around mid tide as a high tide you get a backwash off the old pumphouse wall and at low tide the boulders become exposed. Not for beginners due to large boulders that have claimed many fins on a falling tide!!
