Additional Information

Don't hesitate - just drop in and charge. When there is a bit of swell, this beach break is really fun. A sand bar sits at the end of 8th street, creating some fun rights and lefts - the lefts can be very hollow and fast.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere is primitive. Locals use the beach to wash, clean and relieve themselves. A crowd of locals will watch you and cheer you on, carry your board and equipement...

General

This spot is not as popular as some of the other local spots because it is much heavier when it is 3 feet or above.
