South Coast Pipe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South Coast Pipe (also known as Black Rock, Wreck Bay or Summercloud Bay) is one of the most famous surf spots on the South Coast of New South Wales Australia (though it is technically in the Australian Capital Territory). It takes its name from the most famous break in the world: Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii because both breaks share many characteristics.
[edit] Location
It is located 3 hours from Sydney in the Booderee National Park just south of Jervis Bay on the western point of Summercloud bay. The nearest town is the Aboriginal community of Wreck Bay Village.
[edit] Wave
Pipe is a hollow intense left tube, also available is the shorter right-hander. Best anywhere from 3-8ft from the south with NW-E winds. Pipe can also hold 10 or even 12ft tubes if the conditions are optimal.[1]
