Additional Information

mostly lefts, an occasional right, real clean with off shore winds

Atmosphere

really laid back spot, small at times but when it gets big, its super nice. best longboarding on the island, and its never crowded. theres always 4-5 kids pretty good kids out there, and at times 2-4 older guys. if you stay closer to the life gaurd stand though, you must watch out for a submerged concrete septic tank. at main beach, very crowded, but no surfers.

General

my favorite spot on the island, best break, usually better then cisco
