This wave is a left hander, this wave is more of a body-boarders heaven, the wave seems fat at first and then out of no where is a steep drop and instant barrel. if you're a surfer then you might want to watch out for the reef and if you can handle steep fast take-offs then give it a go, or you should just not even try it at all.
Atmosphere
Very nice surroundings, hill behind you with the lighthouse in sight.
General
It's one of my favorite waves as a bodyboarder since not many people come here, it's more of a wave for locals and sometimes it gets a little crowded and people can get pissed a fair bit, if you come and no one's out there go ahead. but if there are around 4+ people you should just try another break.
