This is a very popular break, with an excellent long tube section. There is a sick right as well, not just the left...
Atmosphere
Gets very crowded when small, but the crowds thin out as it gets bigger!
General
Not the best spot in the area, but still a very good wave

Pea - Ahhhh pea break..... if it's breaking give car park a miss. Paddle hard, get up quick and get really really slotted. Nice. Make the mistake and hey..... not so nice.This wave was designed for the barrel. Wish i had one of these at home.

Dolphin playground - Surfed here in May 2007, and dolphins were playing here for about 30 minutes whilst I surfed here by myself. They were jumping out of the water, doing backflips, somersaults, stand-ups in the water, gawking and generally mucking around. Large ones and small ones. I swear they were trying to surf, taking off on the sets and doing bottom turns. I took the first wave of a set, they took the next two, 3 on each wave, doing right hand bottom turns and re-entries. An awesome experience. I was worried I might hit one, but they always avoid you.

caspian - A great wave, this one- fast, steep and quick. You get a real burst of speed down the face, and the barrel's pretty nice. If you head right keep on paddling when the wave's reforming- you really fly down the face and there's some fun close-out/air times to be had.
