Atmosphere

Wind always blows so try to come when theres none or hope you get lucky. Currents are pretty ugly so watch out for them because youll be in trouble if something should happen to you out here.

General

Been here a few times and only seen a few kids out. NOONE AROUND except a few drunk local fisherman on holiday. Beautiful secluded beach and some descent waves if theres no wind and you're willing to drive to it.
