MAMBA POINT (POOPIE POINT) Sadly nicknamed for the local morning rituals that occur on the rocks and beach nearby. But a fantastic, generally safe wave. A little inconsistent even when it's working from one wave to the next. Needs about a 7 foot long period swell to really work, but can work on 5-6ft on the inside and be a great mini-mal or longboard spot. Above 9-10 feet can get a bit too big and flat and at low tide the current will pump you into the canal and away from the point. Still safe, just tiring. Best at low-mid tide. It's a bit protected from the south winds that frequent rainy season, so can be a good place if on windier days with enough swell. Depending on the day, you can start way out by the edge of the point and get about 150+m rides-good stuff. I've a had a couple 300 m rides here, no exaggeration. Good 15 min. paddle back to the point! See directions below for launch spots. Reef booties for maneuvering the rocks along the shore are not a must, but bring 'em if you got 'em. Pictures Directions |
