Hess
Edit SpotAbout
this spot is pretty good. Breaks close in compared to other spots so watch out for rocks.
Atmosphere:
Almost nobody Ever surfs here except for me and some longboarder i occasionaly see.
Additional Info:
This place is a good alternative from the always crowded Pelican beach.
Winter is the best season because of frequent swells. Summer is the best time for large waves(hurricane season) but If there isnt a hurricane its almost always flat.
