Surf: EP is the most radical reef on the island, and probably Victoria's finest wave, sporting world-class, ledgy righthand tubes. When it is smaller the free-fall leads straight into a bending, bucking bowl section that sucks hard and hisses over the stupidly shallow reef. As it increases in size the sets allow a bit more roll in before turning inside-out, giving the sharp local crew even more advantage to snag all the sets. The brute force of this wave is what catches many out and the gung-ho will pay in flesh and fibreglass. Needs SW-S swell pulses, light NW-N winds and 2-3hrs max either side of high tide, otherwise you will need to tow-in. Environment: Crowds can be mental, especially in summer, but mid-week winter mornings are a different matter. EP does appear on some Top 10 Sharkiest Waves in Australia lists and with the deep channel beside the wave, it makes sense, but stats don't back it up. More likely the wave will eat you....
