How many East Coasters know this view? After a tired drive the sun rises and the trees give way to a carpark above a perfectly formed rockshelf. It's a view that has drawn surfers to the region for forty years, and although better waves have been discovered nearby it remains the quintessential South Coast line-up.

Tom Lovell timed a weekend run to perfection and scored here and also at a nearby reef.
