Atmosphere
If you score an absolute epic day on the mid this place can give you a cover-up. Pretty cruisy atmosphere at this break. Tends to be passed over by most of the serious locals, for better waves elsewhere.
General
I reckon it can be fun if you catch it on a good day, less crowded on the weekends make it an option. Can be good to learn on also

too many idiots - This wave is at best a novice wave but lately it seems it attracts some serious would be surf heros come locals who at best could not handle anything of decent size or power. Go get a life and learn to surf in good waves you loud mouth pretenders.
