Sometimes a decent righthander. Usually clean with few people out in the mornings before the trade winds set in at around 12pm.
Occasionally barrels. On those days if you take off late you get barreled or wiped out because half of the waves are messy close outs on barrel days.
Often the wave has an unpredictable shifty peak with a weird sluggish slow ride.
Occasionally get's good and if you happen to be there at the right time it can be solid.
It's a gamble.

i would be shity too - man thats stupid.. why are hawaiians angry all the time? becoz every1 uses their waves as a PROVING GROUND ... same with Bali

- ur an arse . there not all agresive most are very freindly ,have u ever been to bali? he was probably mad at u because u and ur surf school mates turn up in groups of 40-50 and try and take every wave and drop in and snake .if u turn up and respect locals and let them take the waves they want then there is never a problem and they will probably even call u into waves .i have surfed all over the world and have never met a local i cant get on with. but if u go out there with that atitude and try and snake them and drop them then what do u expect

? - Does anybody have some useful info 'bout this spot? The pictures show a right-hander, while the text says it's a left... how good is this spot really and how far is it from legian or kuta?
