In the 60s and early 70s surfers accessed the Farm surf break via a dirt track which ran behind the dunes, across a winter creek and finished next to the creek behind the surf break. The outflow from this creek used to form sand banks in front of the surf break. However, a dam built upstream has changed sand movement in the area.
