Playon - This place closes out a lot but if you pick the right wave its pretty damn powerful and good. Watch out cause several people have drowned here. The currents are very dangerous if you don't know the place.

local - local surf this spot up to 12 solid foot its insane a little to insane on a big offshore day its like tahiti and the barrel in the middle of the beach can fit a big car in there its killer you need big boards and alot of balls, on 5-6 ft days you still get 8 foot bombs that clean you if youre at the wrong spot, go with somebody who knows the spot and wach out for losing your board out there youll surely drown theres an inside current that pulls you out straight in to the pit so watch out if you get a good wave here its out od t he ordinary you gotta pick em good its powerful fast and barrels insanely hollow drop good wave!!!
