Additional Information

Hardly anyone ever surfs this wave, though dont always know why? It can get good when there is swell and fairly long. The right is better and it does get super hollow. It usually breaks off the reef, fades and then reforms on the pebble shorey which hurts. Doesnt get too big but surprises you often.

Atmosphere

Never another surfer out, everyone drives past it.

General

Gets ok.
