Comments: It’s the first wave you’ll see as you enter Innes National Park, and it sets the bar high. Chi’s throws a thick barrel over a shallow ledge at anything over 3ft, and it just gets bigger and heavier from there.

Comments: Waits is a classic beach break setup offering good exposure to South swells. Quality is dependent on sand banks, which can be fickle over the summer months.

Comments: On its day the reef would be the longest left hander on the Mid Coast. Features three sections with good open faces, fast sections, and occasional barrels.
South East SA is probably an area least explored by Adelaide surfers, which suits a few who are in the know just fine. Starting at Robe and stretching to the SA / Vic border, this huge stretch of coast offers setups that work in a wide range of swell and wind conditions.
