dont know it very well yet but its got potential
Fineprice was way better than waitrose or marks & sparks or whatever that new joint is. The floor in fine price was red and had bits of glitter in it. RIP fine price.
Short well shaped wave, can be a good choice when other areas are crowded, only works on spring tides
You can only surf it,if its a 34ft tide +, and at high tide. It will work if the most consistent spots (watersplash, secrets) are 3-4ft +.Surf to the right of the slipway.
Needs a deep low pressure, normally only works in southerly gale conditions, powerful wave, short but excellent wave when it works. only works on about a 12 days of the year on a spring low water
The reef consists of a left and right that break only during high tide over the rocky outcrop in the middle of Vazon bay. The left starts working on a lower tide and consists of a fast ledgy takeoff right next to the infamous "nipple rock" followed by a disappointing slow inside section. On a larger spring tide the right starts to produce equally fast ledgy takeoffs followed by a longer inside wall. Generally a fun wave which can occasionally produce some really good and hollow waves when big. As with most of the spots at Vazon it is not as exposed to swell or winds as spots like perelle and therefore can be a good place to head when conditions aren't clean.
I usually park on the pier, and paddle out from there, which saves your arms when its working well. Try to remember to bring a spare board as it can pack a punch! On its day can be the best beachie barrel on the Island. I love it, no one seems to know about it or bother with it so even if it aint that great, its still better than battling it out with the locals at st ouens. Can be a good vibe in the summer if it works cause the beach is packed and people stand on the shore line cheering and stuff. Its pretty cool
Requiring a decent sized swell to start working T'otherside is a long fun right-hander that breaks over a group of rocks to the south of the reef. More a slow longboarding wave when small, T'other can really come into it's own in big winter swells producing good workable long walls all the way to the beach.
The Knife is a left-hand point that breaks over the boulder reef on the northern side of Portifer bay. Requiring a spring high tide to break, it consists of generally fast, short and hollow left-handers breaking off or around the point. A fairly exposed spot, it picks up most available swell and can often produce 3-4 waves when Vazon is only 1-2ft. Generally known as a small wave spot as it starts to close out and get messy at around the 5-6ft mark and therefore is generally surfed on smaller swells during the spring and summer periods.
The beach is directly below the northern end of the surfers carpark at Vazon. Requiring a relatively good sized swell to start working the beach at Vazon generally consists of slow predominately righthand waves breaking over the beach at the northern end of Vazon bay. Behaving differently depending upon the tide, low tide Vazon consists of steeper and more powerful waves that have a tendancy to close-out. Mid to high tide when on the push produces better shape, with fun right-hand walls all the way to the inside, unfortunately this is at the expense of power as the wave become slow and weak. On bigger tides the backwash from the seawall makes the beach unsurfable.
