Great left. This is one of those "secret spots" that everyone seems to know about. It works about 3 times a year... whenever there's a huge SW stormy blowing out the mid coast. Needs a lot of storm action to fire, 40knots plus, but then a funny thing happens - somehow the wind is funneled offshore by the surrounding hills. So you have off shore winds in a place that should really be onshore. A nice left point.
