Additional Information

There are a few reef breaks and a good beachbreak here. Lefts and rights. The reefs favour rights and the beachbreak gets super hollow on the right swell. Powerful when big, take caution.

Atmosphere

Good spot, loads of others in the area to choose from. Watch out for the fishing boats. Probably very sharky so watch out..

General

Does not like wind, so mornings are best. Dont think too many have surfed here.
