Edit SpotAbout
If this spot is working properly, you can make an epic surf session with long walls or reeling barrels that wrap along the reef and you'll come out of the water with a face in the smile.
Additional Info:
In a good day, this wave can throw reeling barrels at its 3 sections and can be very long. The locals are friendly but don't push it.
