- Rips / undertow
- Localism
This spot has its good days and bad days. i suggest you go there just after a small swell when the sand banks are still there or surf the edge of a rip.
Atmosphere
Its my home break where i learnt to booger. Good to close outs to bust off. Good barrels too.
General
Yeah its fun but when it gets too big it just closes out.
