There's an early entrance into the protected rock jetties at Jervoise Bay - it's better to take the latter entrance a bit farther north so you get more surfing at the end (and avoid getting too close to Naval property). This run was originally starting from Palm Beach, but the protected launch at the Point Peron boat launch is nice.
