It's way up the west coast (about 2 hours drive) on a dodgy road, and has several names. Only works when the swell is at least ~223 or more mag west, don't bother otherwise, which is only a handful or so times a season. But it's worth it, as it is apparently an awesome world class wave.
Watch the rip on the right hander as it can take you back into the impact zone... Sometimes the left just shuts down with no shoulder. Do not leave ANYTHING on the beach
Long paddle from shore. Hard to stay in spot due to currents. Needs a decent size swell as well, usually when Supersuck is cranking. Higher tides (not sure about low tide here).
The peak has a longish left with a workable wall and the odd barrel. The right is shorter but more punchy. The best swell time is June-Sept however onshores will kick n around 10:00 ish. March -April time has less swell however the winds are favorable.
Only surfed it once and it was too big and washes out at 8-12 foot faces, so needs to be only about 4 to 8 foot faces max. There was also a wicked current sweep to the north with a very heavy dumping beachbreak at this size, making it hard to get in.
Surf then on smallish to medium days, and with more south in the swell it lines up better. Trade SE wind gets into it a little bit as well, so morning is better. It's pretty empty and isolated.
Breaks over about 100m or more, about 200m out from the shoreline, and dies out in deep water. Doesnt handle big sizes, or seem to barrel when I was there. Average.
