General

Mirage point break that is actually just an average right hand peak. Not more than a 3 turn wave on a good day. It is all right for something different but I would not recommend staying in front of the wave as the other wave options in the area are superior. I did not find that this spot offered quality conditions very often in comparison to the other spots in the area.
