Breaker Bay

Breaker Bay is a right hand point break on a very rocky beach. It has gnarly, hollow drop in, with a fast, powerful wave offering a good barrel section or two. Watchout for the rocks, as it can get shallow at times. Can be crowded when its on. Waves feathering on the outer rock can indicate a set on its way in. Expert surfers only.
