Additional Information
You have to park your car on the side of the road and walk down to the beach. If you are really nice the “gatekeepers” may let you park your car in the club area.
HIGH TIDE ONLY!!!!! Do not go out if the tide is low, it gets shallow and there are lots of rocks.
Usually not crowded but it can get crowded when the south coast is flat.

Atmosphere
There are 2 waves, the left (usually better) is a fast wave on the take off and gets pretty hollow when it reaches the inside.
The right is usually smaller, but sometimes longer. Great wave for manoeuvres as it gives you lots of space and time to execute them.

General
This spot is great for beginners. The wave is not as hollow and powerful as New Orleans.
It is great fun when it gets around 5ft-6ft and you can get long, clean walls, and get some barrels on the inside.
