Comments: On its day one of the longest waves on the Mid Coast, there is a right hander and a freaky left that peels off for 80m before hitting an inside reef and reversing direction. The inside right can break for another 80m. Since 2010, ride anything but a SUP out there at great risk.

Comments: The left at Anzacs can be fun, but tends to be a bit fat through the middle section. It needs a medium to high tide, otherwise it closes out. The right works on a lower tide, and reverts to a fat-hander on a high tide.

lat / long: [ -35.179282, 138.465950]
Comments: Surf schools frequent this area because it’s usually smaller than other spots on the Mid, and has a sandy bottom. Transient banks can be good fun on rare occasions.

Comments: There are three gaps in the reef that create lefts and rights under different tidal conditions. The right hander is the least fickle, this is also a popular spot with locals in stormy conditions or Nor-westers.
