Additional Information

Closes out...cold water...YOU NEED TO HAVE A SOLID BOTTOM TURN AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO DUCKDIVE AND SUFFER LONG HOLDOWNS..

Atmosphere

there are often agro surfers here who drop in and snake you....

General

if you like a pounding go here as when it is big it closes out....it is around 1-2 m deep and if it is a strong offshore you can get in a nice barreling section..BEWARE..LONG HOLD-DOWNS AND VAST QUANTITIES IF WATER COMING OVER THE LIP...SOLID DUCK-DIVING NEEDED..........This wave is best for elite body boarders who can perform aerials off the pitching lip. A 2FT PLUS GROUNSWELL IS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS LOCATION WORTHWHILE..
