General Description

An off and on finiky break that on occasion peels hollow lefts. West of Myrtle Street 5th street can provide fun lefts during Northeastern conditions. Easy to access with a short paddle out. The waves break pretty shallow and with some punch. Late takeoffs are the norm. Thruster or a Fish work best here. Plan to drive fast down the line.
A deep ship channel creates popup waves that jump up fast on the steep beach.
Staying in the line up just west of the rock point can be a challenge as the current runs swift during the flood. Pay attention to the lineup and watch the current as it is wicked.
Lil Pipeline is always worth a check.
