Flat Rock Ballina surf guide

Surf: Symbiotic basalt reef/point that is nothing without a healthy covering of sand pushed in by summer NE'ers. Straight E-SE swells will wall up steady righthanders that appeal to intermediates who will struggle around the corner at Lennox. Backsides is the left on the Angels beach side, which is shorter and sharper over the cunji covered reef and favoured by bodyboarders. Some decent beachies up towards Sharpes and maybe round the corner at Boulders in bigger S swells. Environment: Number one hazard is just how sharky this stretch is. Recent rammings in 2015 and fishermen always mention the bull sharks and leaping makos, let alone the great whites responsible for the last fatality 2km south. Good campground just behind point on this stretch of undeveloped coastline.
