Additional Information
Signs are up for 30 minute parking along the road.
Lots of large boulders underwater. Check the whole deal out carefully before going in. Depending on the wind and tide the current can put you where you don't want to be. Be alert to where you are.
Wave is mushy even when it's bigger, more suitable for longboarding There are better spots nearby. Because it sucks it's usually empty. It can be better than Fenway (which may be closing out) on a SE swell that's big enough. Worth the drive-by if you're good enough to go out there.
Atmosphere
Don't be afraid of the rocks. They won't be hurt if you run into them
General
This spot is rarely up but when it is you will have one of the cleanest and longest rides ever, but watch out for the boulders underneath because they are pointed and they hurt so watch out.

This is a great wave - Anyone who says this wave sucks is just plain retarded. If you know how to surf the break (most people don't) is a great left that braks for a long time and the shacks are nice. I was shown the ropes by a guy on a longboard over 15 years ago and have enjoyed this wave many times since. As for the kooks in the water, don't mind them if you know what your doing you can be on the face before they even start paddling for the wave.
