It’s known for its sandy bottom and relatively accessible waves, making it a go-to place for many surfers, especially when the conditions line up just right. It tends to attract a crowd, so be prepared for some company in the water, particularly on good days.

The optimal swell direction here is from the west, but it can also handle swells from the south and northwest. The spot works best with swell sizes around 1ft (0.3m) and is known to produce right-handed waves. The mid to high tide is where the surf usually feels the best.
