Fun, with potential to hold bigger swells
Atmosphere:
Atmosphere here is amazing, I do not think they hardly ever see white people. The local kids all came to watch us surf and cheered every time we got a wave.
Additional Info:
This area has heaps of potential from Nov-March. No surfers at all. Really feels as though you are pioneering which we probably were. Discovered by Hemisphere crew, Gavin Foxall, Arturo Bonomo and Adam Bartley Smith

Continue to drive along the road until you see the blue church. Take the narrow right dirt road next to the church. Left hand reef break works on 1m plus NE swell off the small island out in front
