Pistol's is a very good option when the swell is small and the wind is from the North. And on the smaller days, it's also a good alternative to Burger World that can often get crowded in the main season. Located at the very southern tip of the Playgrounds surf zone about half a kilometre further around from Rifles, Pistols can be a little wind sensitive & prefers a South swell. When it's on though, it'll dish up crystal clear barrels & some fun wedgey walls. Like many of the local shallow reefs, it's even more amplified by the transparency of the water, but it’s certainly manageable.
