too many waves too often - coast has like 10-w5 flat days a year. Super consistent. Sometimes tooo big and too stormy, but waves different beaches got diferent directions. some of the sickest waves I've had on crazy riverbar breaks and far out points. Good to get toasted and go surf, too many animals and not enuff girls
