The Wave
The cleanest setup is east-southeast swell with south-southwest winds, while southwest can still clean it up on the sheltered side.
Go in from Bannister Head Lodge and walk down around the rocks to the point.

Bannister Head Suck Rock
Bannister Head Suck Rock is a small, relatively exposed South Coast reef off Mollymook Beach that can turn worthwhile when east-southeast swell lines up. The access is a rocky headland walk rather than a broad beach ramp, and the lineup stays more local and uncrowded than the main town beach.
