Blaketown is located on the south side of the mouth to the Grey River, right beside to breakwater. The beach is sandy with a rocky breakwater at the north end. Blaketown beach has several peaks down the beach with right and left handers, or the best peak beside the breakwater, which can be more of a right hander off the breakwater. The wave starts with a steep, hollow drop in, with a fast, powerful wall. Can be very solid in a big swell and plenty of barrels on offer.
Cobden is a sandy, beach break with a rock breakwater at the south end of the beach. Cobden is best right up beside the breakwater, and there are other peaks down the beach towards The Channel. Can be quite shifty and peaky, but there are good solid pits on offer, both rights and lefts. Can hold big swells, but can make for a hard paddle out when big. Can be better to jump of the breakwater to get out. Best for intermediate to expert riders.
