DT Flemming

About

Most of the year, this break is crap. But during the winter season it can be totally badass. Last nice day I saw here was in October 2007. On Halloween day it was a solid 8-12 foot face. The break on the far left is a Sandys style heavy shorebreak. Another break way out to the left point is a big, crazy left break.
The most popular break when its big is the right point. Its a very nice , fast , smooth right. Very nice barrels, and a insanely long ride sometimes all the way to the middle of the beach. Rarely breaks, but when a strong swell hits, its totally epic.
