OK - It can take some wind, needs a monster south swell AND a high tide. Maybe 20 days a year. Good luck.

Not so hot - I live right down the street and ride my bike up the 1 all the time. This spot is not that consistent. Takes a solid south swell to get anything more than waist high, and you can bet there are plenty of guys on it when it does. Some locals LOVE this spot, but chances are, if Abs is firing, theres a group of spots nearby that are just as good.
