Edit SpotAbout
Please add any comments if you have info on this spot...
Atmosphere:
Only works with very big swell. The time I surfed it all the surrounding spots were closing out. Tide also high and whole beach was under water.
Additional Info:
Wave starts peeling at at the point and is quite ledgy. When it hits the bank it becomes hollow.
theres an obvious rock that sticks out the water next to which is an easy take off.
