About

This wave is a very fun and usually mellow right hander, but can really light up on a solid West or Northwest. South swells don't normally squeeze in her unless they are of substantial size. A good place to get away from the crowds while having easy access.

Atmosphere:
Interesting secluded right reef, Rincon can be used as a good indicator to tell whether or not this is breaking. Heavy localism means that there may be some aggression in the water but you should be fine as long as you don't cut anyone off. Although not terribly sharks there are some sharks nearby.

Additional Info:
Watch out for large rocks in or nearby take off zone (depends on swell direction and tide), the smaller the mushier, the larger the hollower.
