This place fires even when One Palm is too small. Somewhat protected from SE trades. Dry reef at low tide. Helmets on lower tides a good idea. On all tides kick out of end section a must or you will be in very shallow water. Very photogenic.

sharp reef and gaping pits - I scored this wave. It gets a sideshore wind on a normal trade wind though so got to surf it early. When you look down all you see is nigger heads and fire coral, i think its sharper than one palm. Every wave in that island wants to eat you alive
