Youre not going to get long rides so go for nice moves early on and make the most of every wave.
Atmosphere
Pretty laid back atmosphere, wouldn't call it a secret spot as its quite well known but be nice to the locals and dont treat the kids bad or they'll show you up. There is one reef about a mile out which takes more swell to work but is less crowded if you can be bothered to paddle out.
General
A pretty good spot as you can choose over a selection of reefs. Some can get shallow but nothing to get too worried about.

Pumping! - Came here on a nice clean 2-3ft wave and had one of the finest surfs ever! I started off at the left on the far side then when the tide got too low went out to the main peak which was perfect and ultra glassy! Such an underated wave!
