A 10-15min drive from town is the quality reefbreak of Paunch. The lefts start with a tubular section, before wrapping into a more workable wall. A fun wave when small, it gets real sucky with a bigger swell. There is also the option of a few rights off the peak when everybody focuses on the lefts but they are a shadow of the lefts. Sharp reef at Paunch and Dumpers make reef boots a necessity.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
