Dangers

Additional Information

a reef pass with a sloppy shallow left on one side and a sloppy shallow right on the other. only surf it if you're desperate. take plenty of peroxide.

Atmosphere

lonely, clear, clean water all year round. howling cross shore during winter is best for kites and sails. ridiculously hot in summer.

General

best chance for a bit of onshore slop is during howling northerly winter cross shore. explore the coast to the south, could find anything.
