It’s not the most famous spot, but it definitely has its moments, especially if you know when to hit it.

This spot works best with swells coming from the SouthWest and NorthWest. It can handle swell sizes at around 2ft (about 0.6 meters), making it suitable for both novice and intermediate surfers.
