Additional Information
Thick underground left on shallow reef. If you get caught inside don't duckdive too deep. If you ride the wave to far in its very shallow and sharp (pretty much dry).
Atmosphere
More crowded these days. Mostly just locals surf here so if you park a rental car don't leave anything important inside, because it'll be gone when you get back. Long walk down to the spot means a lot of time for burglars to work your car. Lots of broken glass around.
General
you have to have experience !
