Size: Waist to head high.
Wind: E
Swell: SW

Paddling: Longshore drift - take care.
Spot Rating: Sheltered, fickle, will be quiet as other better spots nearby.
Access: Beachfront parking.
Crowds: Crowd Factor: Quiet.
Local Vibe: Friendly.
Environment: OK - except after rain can Autumn foul of sewage.
Hazards: Big rips in big swells.
Season: Big swells and storms that rage December - February.
