The wave works only by BIG swell when all the other spots close out. When it works, it's often hollow, tubular and powerful. Very good for bodyboarders. That's why you should be a good surfer to surf there because of the wave power.
Be really careful because of currents ! this spot might be dangerous and is definetvly not for beginners.
