General Description
Very condition dependent but can be a good wave for more advanced surfers comfortable with a fairly intimidating paddle out if not familiar. S/SE swell N/NW wind, mid-tide. No parking. Not a beginners spot regardless of wave height. Like your board, your life, wait till you've got some experience. Watch for a while after honing your skills at one of the more appropriate spots like 1st & 2nd beaches, both minutes away w/easy parking, free spots before 8 midweek.
