Dangers
Additional Information
Rights of the jetty to the south are steep, fast and barrelling on good days. Watch out for the shallow sand inside!
Atmosphere
Locals dominate the line-up on good days, and are willing to fist fight if dropped in on.
General
Stoked that it is breaking again for the first time in 5 years. (Sand refurbishment by the Army Corps of Engineers ruined it.) Viva beach erosion!

what a bunch of assholes - Found a place where I can surf all day, most of the time I have the place to myself and my kids. People who show up are friendly and tolerant. We are talking about riding east coast waves here, not a spaceshuttle launch. When the place goes off I have seen rides I had to pace off to believe, 350 yards. The real oldtimers talk of a wave twice as long. It's not uncommon for a kook like me to catch a ride 175 yard. You have to walk back. I've been in and out of the ocean since 1959, started surfing the left coast in 1965, and seen this place breaking better than any wave I've seen and no one out. So you assholes can fight over what you think is worth fighting over. If you come around here be prepared to be friendly and give everyone a chance or someone is going to have a "talk". Not telling you where.
