Generally workable at 3-5 foot faces. Lots of under 20 youth who rip. Paddle battles and rail bumping are normal fare.

Magic - This wave is magic! You start paddeling on a nice size hump and while you are dropping it starts sucking and growing to more than double of what it started. Huge deep barrels if you know how to manage them. Spot must be glassy or with south winds. Any other wind will make it look like washing machine junk.

Nice Wave - I used to surf this break in the 70's before it had a name. I never could find anyone to surf it with me, so I surfed it alone. I only surfed it in the Summertime. Never even looked at it in the winter because there were too many other good breaks like Surfers, Wilderness, Crash Boat, Bridges, etc.
