The Wave Wall is another 20 minutes past Orange Cave and offers a wide variety of quality routes. Unfortunately, it is only approachable during calm seas. Boots and gloves are recommended for the approach.
Good topo here.
Hike east towards two huge boulders, the first of which has a sharp, pointy top (First Cay). Pass above this rock, then below the second one, a rectangular pinnacle that looks like a seahorse. This is a test - if you can’t pass below the seahorse, even by timing the crossing between waves, then you probably won’t be able to cross the sloping shingle beyond either.
Now scramble through a boulder field at mid-height and come to a section of sloping rock with the overhanging wall on the left and the water on the right. Big waves can make this section extremely dangerous! Do a 3rd class (sometimes 5th class!) traverse to the last large shelf (~100m).
