Two reefs off Flinders on the Mornington Peninsula's south coast. Big Left is a heavy outside left that picks up plenty of swell and wind, with long hold-downs on big groundswells; Cyrils is more protected, more consistent and punchier. Both want S to SW groundswell, a N to NNE wind and mid to high tide. The lineup is quiet and spread out.
