TheSouth Coast Pipe (also known asBlack Rock,Wreck Bay orSummercloud Bay) is a surf spot in theJervis Bay Territory,Australia. It takes its name from theBanzai Pipeline inHawaii because both breaks share many characteristics. It was originally known as just "Pipeline" or "Wreck Bay" by the few surfers who knew about it in the second half of the 1960s. The term "Black Rock" was coined by an Australia Surfing Magazine in 1970 but it remained little-known until the late 1980s.
The break is located in theBooderee National Park just south ofJervis Bay on the western point of Summercloud Bay. The nearest town is the Aboriginal community ofWreck Bay Village.
