Additional Information
Good right hand wave that picks up swell, usually just a little smaller than T Land. Best at mid tides, high tide a bit too fat and low tide a bit too shallow, but ok at low to mid. Trade winds muck it up by about 9am, so best early morning or off season.

Atmosphere
It's a good right hander, but most would say only rarely world class. Breaks about 100-150m long, although on really big days it can get longer- up to 250m or so, right into the little bay.
At its best, might be a big SW-WSW swell, on low to mid tide coming in, and an offshore north wind (off season). Holds at least 2-3 times overhead, when it gets quite heavy. It can also be ridden at only chest high.
Sets can swing wide, but getting caught inside isnt too bad. Barrels near takeoff on good days, and can also barrel anywhere down the line, but sometimes closes out. Long paddles, but not too bad.

General
Awesome on its day, but a little wonky and doesn't always line up properly. Doesn't like trade winds or very high or very low tide.

Boa
By Anonymous , 11-02-2016
a tragedy occurred here - Several years ago, 3 children drowned at Boa, after one was swept into the near- shore current and another 2 also drowned trying to rescue him.
The current here is not unusually severe, but weak and young swimmers should be careful, as in all of Rote. Tides are also quite large and change the currents and surf in this area.
