By about 1:oo this place gets a lot of onshore wind during the summer which makes the rip pretty tough. Best is early morining or early evening
Atmosphere
Laid back nice locals not very crowded except for summer.
General
Nice wave most of the time very good during hurricane season. Good for begginers except for when theres a storm all in all pretty good wave.

Rocks - Careful when tide is very full. My buddy ran my board up on the small jetties that are sometimes covered by high tide. Not to mention what it did to his foot. The waves are very short.
