- Rocks
When its big at Lagundri over 5 feet, it starts working really well. Its a great wave but really shallow. It is a perfect left.
Atmosphere
The locals usually hit this spot on the high tide when its big at Nias. Low tide is good but you might get a mouth full of reef. Its a long tube and once you come out its an easy paddle back out.
General
Sweet!

Occasional - I was there for 2 weeks and it didnt break at all. Locals say it still works when the point is huge (8 foot plus) but I didnt see it working at all.
