The Middle has some powerful lefts and is generally best left to experienced surfers. On a postcard day, the wave here will be about three metres and stays smooth in winds from the west right around to the south-east. Flagstaff is the protected southern headland of Town Beach, which creates a sort of mini point-break with clean right-handers when the swell direction is anywhere from the south through to east, ideally with an offshore breeze.
