The area can get crowds, so it’s good to time your sessions wisely. This spot is particularly useful when the surf is stormy, as it can provide a fun ride when other places might be blown out.
The waves here generally work best with a southwest swell. You can expect the surf to handle swell sizes up to about 3 feet (around 1 meter), and surfers can catch both left and right waves, thanks to the sandbar setup.
