Gets Big at Times, Mostly Average - This used to be one of my local spots for a number of years. The break varies a lot and I've seen it get big on a very occasions, but also been disappointed on more occasions. The waves aren't typically very hollow and usually close out quickly, but this isn't always the case. Best surfed on a light to moderate South Easter, once it starts howling it tends to get blown flat.
