dirty dicks - water = ball shrivlingwaves = depends on the swell at the time. Could be flat, or could be going off. Best time to get on it is hurricane season. But not when a hurricane isn't around (summer flat spells)

definately go somewhere else - This place is so damn fun, i surfed the breaks in town for a week last august and it was legit, definately some serious potential for epic days, chill place, nice weather, no crowds! keep it that way
