General Description

Best in Winter and on a large swell. It is best on a 4 foot and above day and can reach approximately 8 or 9 foot once a really big fresh swell has arrived . Mornings is best as the wind really picks up at about noon and Saturdays and Sundays can get really packed with crowds. It is great on a low, incoming tide as the point breaks on the left and right can get steeper and more powerful. The rides are not really long but the height and power of the wave is its value.
