Expect a large group out there if it is breaking at all. An excellent wave when it all comes together. Very long with rides of up to 400 meters on a good day. Tides: Low to mid Size: Head high to double overhead plus. Wind: N - E Swell: W/NW Bottom: Rock reef. Paddling: Long wave, lots of paddling. But you will rest while waiting your turn. Spot Rating: On a good day you'll have your wetsuit on in record time.

Great for mid-level surfers. Good for advanced surfers looking for leg-burning turns if it's really pumping.

Park on road and walk down goat path.

Takes big winter swells to work.
