Additional Information
ok spot, it is usually junk but it has its days. because it is a deeper water break it doesnt always work. when the tide is right, and the swell is a nice size, which is about 3 feet. any bigger, and it breaks outside with really fast, death closeouts. sometimes however, there are really nice long rides on days like this. BUT! when it is nice, its nice. perfectly clear water, glass. pits everywhere, nice powerful lips. if you are lucky, they double up on the inside sometimes, and you can catch that, get pitted SUPER hard, and pull a huge air off the bowl.
Atmosphere
i love this spot when i am at home, it is hot and i have nothing to do. calming, no people here, just the water and the waves. a sureal spot
General
great spot, nice and fun...

Don't believe da hype - I've been surfing da place for 20+years and it's rarely good. Too many factors have to come together. always windy and the tide ruins it. closes out too much.

ugly - rarely clean, crappy and ugly which is why it is empty. when bigger like 6 ft. local scale, it can close out easily if the direction is wrong. also has sharks. not worth it, diamond head usually has better shape. usually not worth the paddle.
