- I once meet up with some surfers coming back from Cable house?, which was north of main beach. It was a big swell and they said it was closing out, and no it's not that 1st right hander because thats where I was.You could be right though there are a few bays around with cables.

its real - Similar to Breaker bay. Peels next to a big rock, but dry inside reef at low tide and can get rather shallow. Best at about 2-4ft, nice short tubes and plenty of cuts on ya feet.
