Occy once claimed that this wave used to break 'all the time'. He should know, he was brought up just down the road. Conditions have changed however, and whether it's due to dredging in the bay, changed weather patterns, or rose coloured glasses, it's a fairly rare thing to see it break these days.

This morning it was on though and a swag of local lads got their fill.
