Surf: On the East Coast, the main beach is Half Moon Bay, where the reef off the northern headland is fairly consistent pulling in any E swell. A sucky take-off leads to some faster walls with a bit of speed and power and it can wrap into the bay and clean up a bit. Needs a bit of size to clear the reef and handles overhead swells. Environment: HMB is a National Park and a good choice for a family outing with good snorkelling reefs. Usually uncrowded. Smith Island located offshore definitely hides some waves for boaters.
