Additional Information
One of the south coasts best and well known spots. With fame comes the crowds, epecially in summer with tourists but rest of the year its not too bad. Great long wave. The beachbreak also gets good, often closes out but gets super hollow.
Atmosphere
The 'locals' and atmosphere is often friendly as long as you are using your melon.

Excellent
