Additional Information
Super long paddle. take a kayak unless you want your arms to die. pretty sketchy reefy on the way out to the right of the beach park. you then have to cross over a deep shark infested channel.
Atmosphere
The wave is only a right. if you go left, it will close out fast and you will be stuck over super sharp shallow urchin infested reef. When its working, the right comes up fast and throws a long right barrel, kindof like bowls but a right, and stays hollow longer. super rippable and fun. dont fall though, reef is super shallow and tons of sea urchins and sharks everywhere. no one surfs here cause its super dangerous. probobly the best right on south shore though. faster and more hollow then anyother right in town.
General
perfect right, just a pain in the ass to get to. theres a litle island on the inside with a beach that you can chill at in between sessions.

Spooky - Went there once but will not return. Went via two man kayak with my friend like 8 years ago. 8ft faces, super shreddable with no one but too spooky. I've surfed big Irmas and Ewa outer reefs many times with noone out, but the shark feeling here is tooo great to overcome for me. It's a long way to shore and the hospital, and if bitten just once and by a small shark, you may seriously bleed to death. Not only that, but the sewage outlet is up-current from this place, and the bacteria levels can also kill.
Be safe!
