The Trough surf guide

Surf: Goofies should check The Trough; the first section delivers some punch before fatting out in the channel. S-SW seems better for here, so the wrap diminishes size to headhigh tops. Environment: Just down from Seaford. Will attract a fair crew when it is on. There are more reef/beach options down through Moana Beach, Maslin, Aldinga and on to Myponga, but this coast is seriously shadowed by Kangaroo Island to the south.
