Perfect - Its a very nice spot for the north. Total silence, good for relaxing, no people at all or not more than 3-4 people. Waves break like in the west very nice lefts with tubes in the right conditions. Make sure you dont surf the wave too long because the wavs there can last more than 15 seconds but take you right ontop of the fire coral reef which is just a few inch deep on some places!! If you paddle in which takes about 10-20 minutes (depends on board and conditions) make sure you swim around the reef on the right side, swimming to the boje first on the right and then turn left to where the waves break. Its worth it. I go there every week right now. Any questions write me to 303storm(a)gmail.com

overrated - I live in front of it and have seen it surfed once, if its breaking theres way better spots to go to, the standup paddleboards mess around with it now but not much anyone else
