Sumner Bar surf guide

Surf: If Sumner Bar is on word spreads fast as hollow peaks line up in winter storms at the river estuary. Low incoming tide and a big wrap SE swell can see stacked lines of lefts, but it's as rare as rocking horse shit. Soft, short beachbreaks all around. Environment: Down the end of Sumner beach there can be a sand dependent right off the point in big swells.
