HORRIBLE - Recently checked out this spot. Horrible wave. Closed out with lots of deep water current. The locals were agro. Some guys got into a fight in the water resulting in a broken board and lots of boxing brawl on the beach. I split and on the way out was stopped by the coast guard who informed me there had been a massive shark sighting earlier in the morning. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! NO REASON VISITING THIS PLACE.

No swell - This has been a slow start to the fall. We haven't had a solid swell in a while
