Best size during summer, best form during late winter/spring

Atmosphere

Negative low tide is a must, 260(WSW)-280(WNW) is the best swell direction for fun wedgie shorepound, starts to wedge off the south point. Higher tide and any other swell direction is simply closed out shorepound with no ridable shape at all.

General

Occasionally breaks with good form, quick little a-frames with a little bit of power, mostly hollow.
