Mitchell's Cove
Edit SpotAbout
i love this spot
Atmosphere:
its hard to catch on the right day but it can be epic if u do. Be respectful out in the line up
Additional Info:
It's one of the best spot of the country.its easy to find yourself too deep on this wave. take off from the shoulder oh ya when changing in the upper parking lot use your towel effectively. People live right across from the parking lot and aren't big fans of surfer's asses hanging out. The outside taka-off is on a shallow reef.
