Week-end crowdCrowded
real beginner wave when under 3 ft, just fat and sluggish, but when it gets bigger, it's a fast, holow, long barrel. On a large bay swell Crunchies earns its name when its 1 - 1.5m with extremely fast peeling hollow sections. It is protected from stronger W to NW winds plus sometimes like Pines, not too bad on SW winds.
Atmosphere
real laid back place which has a ripper cafe with real nice people(awesome after a chilly winter surf to grab a real nice coffee. Best to surf in winter when swells are bigger and winds tend to be more suited.
General
awesome spot for a begginner who is just learning the ropes
