Surf: General: A super-wide, semi-protected beachbreak -- both rarities along this stretch of coast - this is a flat, packed sand beach, so it has an annoying tendency to close out a bit more often than you'd like. When the waves get really big from the NW, there is a giant left that breaks in front of the tunnel and spins into the beach. Serious stuff, but very rare. Tides: Not the biggest tidal changes but lower generally better. Size: Chest high-overhead Wind: South Swell: NNW, N, NNE, NE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Depends on the size of the surf. Spot Rating: Not great as it tends to close out on most swells but it is somewhat protected from the trade winds. Access: Park right there. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Pretty spread out. Local Vibe: Not too bad. Environment: Not bad. Hazards: Not much. Season: Late summer and fall for tropical cyclone swells but late fall through early spring for consistency.
