Additional Information
Left point break. Needs a solid 10' + storm swell, preferably in winter. A reef on the outside blocks off much of the force. Like Elands, it copes with SW winds. Works on a low tide. Likely to be working if Elands is out of control.
Atmosphere
Perfect, long wave.
General
Youll freeze your poes off but its well worth it!
