About

Fantastic, scaring, beautiful...It is a short wave but its intensity will make you forget its lack of length. I've seen it working with a 12+ feet swell, I was too scared to get in. The locals made the show. Unforgetable.

Atmosphere:
Good atmosphere, nice kids when the wave is small. Good wave to keep in shape when it is small and kind of mellow with a northern swell. It becomes wild really wild when the swell is south, huge barrels and a very tempting but very dangerous last section...

Additional Info:
Long paddle to the spot, hire a boat to keep energy, you'll need some there.
