Surf: Famous, flawless A-frame known as “The” Peak, since it offers a choice of a longer, high-performance, racy left wall or a shorter, slower, rip-bowl right. The cadence on the left is sweet with the odd pitching section until it gets beyond double-overhead and the sections come too thick and fast, making the deep channel paddle-out on the right far more attractive. Lower incoming tides are the go and any E wind round to S for the lefts, but it can be fun with onshore crumble offering hits and ramps. Environment: Always very crowded, unless it’s big, so know your ability and surf with respect, among the locals who all know each other. Beginners and intermediates can surf the sandy bit of Main Beach and rippers can pull in at Inside Left over the low tide slab. Look out for rocks, urchins, rips and poor water quality after rains (always!). For the time being, the marina development has been defeated. Ample parking in town, surf shops and full facilities.
