Atmosphere
Don't mess up on the right hand side of the beach cause you'll break your feet off the rocks at the bottom. Also beware of the rip-current. This spot preforms best about 2-3 days after a heavy storm and while there is still a little bit of low pressure around. A slight offshore breeze (anything from the north) helps to peak up the waves.
General
Excellent on awarm summers evening if the swell is in the 8-10ft range. Water is nice and clean also. Very good for kayak surfing.
