Comments: Gets its name from “Little Lizard Bay”, and works on days most other places are too small to surf. There’s often a left and another right breaking to the North.
Type: reef break
Direction: right, short left

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.
