There's a good left break 100 yard to the left of the pass and a nice right and left about 60-100 yards out on the right side. Straight out is just a shallow closeout
Atmosphere
there is definately alot o wildlife with the marshy areas areound it and since the lagoon empties into the brek area watchout for stingrays and jellys
General
this spot is a fun spot to teach somebody to surf, but on a tropical storm it could be epic here

Longboard Fun - Sometimes there is a really long break there, used to be better unsure as of how it is now. Public parking/bathrooms, great for small waist high days. A bit on the sharky side due to the brackish channel, also strong undertow at times with rip.
