The surf club is built on smaller South Headland (Fig. 2.5a), which is separated from Point Lookout by a 50 m long pocket of sand (Fig. 4.138). Both this small beach and the longer beach on the south side of the club are patrolled by the lifesavers. Both beaches are exposed to swell averaging 1.5 m. South Headland beach (1587) is a popular beach owing to its protection from most winds and calmer inshore waters. However in the surf and off the beach there is a strong permanent rip, as well as rocks to either side (Fig. 4.139).
