Comments: Once looked upon as a dangerous wave due to jagged granite in front of the take off, it’s now considered fairly tame. Can deliver a long, winding ride that runs right into Middleton Bay,almost 200m long.

Length of wave: 60 – 120m
Offshore: NE-WNW
Wave size: 1 – 6ft
Tide: depends on banks
Skill level: beginner to expert
Comments: The bay is usually very average, but can be fun on a 3 – 4ft day, even throwing a little barrel on the end section. Watch out for the giant mounds of stinky sea weed!

Length of wave: 60 – 180m
Offshore: NW – SW
Wave size: 1 – 4ft
Tide: medium
Skill level: beginner
Comments: The breaks close to the town of Victor Harbor are extremely fickle and would be lucky to break once a year in the dead of winter. Once every 10 years it actually gets good!
Type: reef

Length of wave: 40 – 120m
Offshore: SW – NW
Wave size: 4 – 8ft

Comments: The Alley probably only breaks three or four times a year, and properly only once. Needs a really big SW swell, and is perfectly sheltered from SW winds by the Bluff.
