Lineup Guide
Access is via the Smiths Beach / Yallingup side of the coast, with a short walk from the beach access to the reef.
The reef is fast and hollow, so rocks, localism, and crowding are the main issues on good days.
Intermediate surfers can surf it when it is smaller, but the spot is really an advanced reef when it is firing.
