Additional Information

It usually is only rideable at high tide and the best ones are the ones that look like they're gonna close-out(most of the time they don't). If you can make the bottom, the fun has just begun...

Atmosphere

Fun but not all it's sometimes hyped up to be

General

Great wave for surfing. Have been . Great winter spot. Can handle a South West wind
