On a big day ... take the left side of the wave .
On a messy day ... take the right.
Atmosphere
The waves are consistent ... it is a very safe place and from November - April one could see a few "Crayfish-divers" paddling around in the front like maniacs. If there is a day with nice waves there will be about 6 people in and we would chat while waiting for the set.
General
Its a great spot to start surfing and to practise your "floaters".
