Dont bother Unless the swell is 3 foot plus. Best to surf at this beach is by the island.
Atmosphere
Mostly empty but gets a small crowed when its working. Friendly locals and the beach is nice and quiet. The wave are very heavy so not good for the groms really you'll get hammered if you try to surf it.
General
Nice relaxing spot.
