Additional Information

NB: needs a lot of swell to start working and with a wave period 14secs and over can produce a heavy, super suck, fast wave

Atmosphere

fun wave, can cop a belting when the wave closes in between you and the rocks

General

good spot to go to when there is onshore winds and lots of swell, protected from strong sw winds, gets crowded with a dozen people, fun wave, but you may have to wait for good sets to come in. no white water to paddel through which means no spaghetti arms
