Additional Information
This is a nice little uncrowded break. Not nearly as intense as many south shore summer breaks. Predominantly a rt hander, but be looking for an occasional left. Left is shorter but can have some good power. The wave is generally not hollow, but is fast enough to be fun. Watch out for the inside section - there is some very shallow rocks & coral that you can get thrown on to. Get in & out of the water in front of the beach house , just to the west of the break to avoid the rocks. We surfed it up to 8 ft & it held just that swell just fine. Not sure how big it could hold. Just off to the west, there is a little sandy beach break in front of the Gillin Beach House- it's a funky little wave, but it can get some power & hollow. Good place to do a little body boarding or body surfing with the kids

Atmosphere
We stayed at the Gillin beach house - if you are looking for a quiet get a way with some uncrowded surf, this might be the spot for you. I don't think in the week we were there that there was ever more than 2-4 people out.
