It's not very far offshore, perhaps a little more than Margarets. You'll need a jet ski or a mammoth upwinder to get to, as there is no beach to launch from.

Our summer is best for swell.

Ok thankyou ..
Is it a 2/3km tack or 7km ?
Also assume it could be a 8m type place
?

Thanks again...

Also..are there any rocks or hazards jutting out downwind such as MR bommie slab that u have to peal off before...
And is there an 'escape route' downwind ??...

And do u know if Patrick mclaughlin(?) (72ft) had straps ?

..Thanx again

All cliffs downwind of Jaws for a while. The local guys love their straps there.
