Additional Information

Strong paddling ability a must due to rip, currents. 4 WD recommended to explore length of coast - several alternate spots

Atmosphere

Melow fisherman's cove, classic point break - best in late Spring, Summer, Fall during "Khareef" period - day break sessions best at medium to med-low tides - wind really kicks after 10 or 11 AM. Evening sessions also typical.

General

can be great - can also strike out. Pay attention to multiple forecasts and tides (.mil sites good). Long boards or fun boards work well on small swell days so bring one.
