Voodoo is pumping.
To those who have surfed here that’s all you have to say to get everyone’s attention. If you have ever been interested in surfing, this break is one talked about amongst surfers around the world. It looked nothing special when I took the photo for this page at about 3 ft. It was a bright winters day in 1967 when I tried my skills on waves averaging 10 to 12 ft. I have surfed waves around various locations and believed I was capable. I had 2 attempts to drop into the wave and failed both times. Realizing that it was beyond me I made my way back to shore smashing my board up on the way.
There is just a little paddle to the break (300-500m) then it's all downhill from there. Deep sea ocean swells from the SE unload on this part of the coast as they hit the shallow ledges producing some intense wave energy, the power of the ocean is never more evident as swells collide with the rocky headland. The breaks are constant and epic to carve up if you are able. Early in the morning is the best time to execute some mad manoeuvres as the water is like glass. It's a heavy L breaking wave over rocky ledge. In the right swell, it holds 20 to 30 ft and most consistent at 6 to 12 ft between Dec-Mar. Experienced surfers only is the recommendation from all authorities since the 1990’s.
When you get into the water, you instantly fell the pressure of the wave. Even on a small day at 4ft it will still be a scary spot. On these days my experience (no responsibility accepted for your actions) would be to catch the wave anyway even if you think you won’t be able to. The take-off is on a steep wall straight into a big pit where you’ll be able to see the reef staring right up at you.
