Additional Information
Depends on sand build up but can get very good when it is in the right place. Looks like mini Black Rock when its on. Picks up lots of swell and a good option when everywhere else is small. Tends to max out over 3-4 foot but if all the elements are right can hold bigger swells
Atmosphere
Unreal. Every wave you get a pit.
General
Funnest wave ever!
