Additional Information

Excellent spot at its best offers often long and powerful lefts and rights. Pretty exposed so gotta come with clean swell and little or no wind. Kelp sticking out everywhere. When its big, its scary. Fairly long paddle out. Take caution for surfing here.

Atmosphere

Watch out for currents, sharks etc.

General

Hectic spot.
