Fun wave, quite powerful though and can be a challenge to get out.

Cattle Wash - I stay about three houses down from cattle wash once a year. The first time my friends and I surfed cattle wash it was head high, supper hollow and fast, breaking in about two feet of water. Sweet!!

don't drive on the beach! - Been there, surfed that. Messy break with gnarly currents, suitable only for the experienced surfer with knowledge of the ocean. Beginnner could get sucked out and killed. Seriously. You're better off surfing soupbowls, it's close and a better wave.Anyhow, DON'T DRIVE ON THE BEACH HERE. I drove my mini moke onto the sand and that sucker got stuck. Luckily a Bajan guy cruised by and pulled us out. Bajan people are lovely.
