Additional Information
A fun ledgy hollow right hander that races down a shallow reef, hollow but user friendly. Shallow but not to heavy with plenty of opurtunitys to get barreled as it peels and wraps around into deeper water.
When it gets too big theres a few more fun waves in the bay a few hundred meters away that you can also paddle too
Atmosphere
Not the best wave in the Ments but a great spot to hang as theres a cool little surf camp on the beach thats not to expensive with many other waves a short boat ride or walk away or just paddle straight out to Rikas rights.
General
Respect the Tua pejat local surfers.

is this the long shifty right near Telescopes? - I think this is the long but shifty right just up from Telescopes?. If it is, iIt can get very good, but really needs a south swell otherwise it closes out too much from 2-8 feet+, can be good big or small and catches small swell, it can break very long when big and gets very barelly down the line but really a lottery barrel, the wave way further down the long reef is called Ariks and breaks in a west swell when its big, and is an easy, good wave from 3-8 feet that can also barrel.
