It is the sharper, shallower reef-line option in the Avalon lineup, throwing short hollow rights when northeast swell and west to southwest offshore wind line up.

Lineup Guide
Park by the Avalon SLSC and rockpool side, then take the short cliff-edge walk to the reef line.
West to southwest cleans it up, northeast swell is the main trigger, and mid to high tide usually gives the reef enough cover to stay clean.
