Additional Information
Spot is located right at the tip of a rock jetty the juts out into the water on the north side and a rock cliff/point type of area on the right and a rock wall/breakwall in front of you.....so basically surrounded by rocks. Drainage pipe empties out into the lineup but supposedly its not TOO BAD. High risk surf spot very dangerous a broken leash or a bad wipe out can cause permenant and severe board or body damage. Tons of shortboarders since longboards can't react quick enough for the wave. If there is more than 10 guys in the water its a waste of time but that won't stop 30 more from comming in.
Atmosphere
Waste of time!! Can be a really great wave but there is one take off spot and 30 guys in the water all dropping in on one another. Tons of broken boards and shattered dreams of glory. Localism is nuts!!! they hate you don't bother!!

Little Compton - In the 70's would talk Lavy, Pan, Abruzzi out of water when it was good (they never showed up over 6' anyway); we kicked ass in the Roger Williams Surf Team every winter! It's worth charging people to surf every wave, that would help economy wrecked by the fucking mafia!
