Outer Pool
Edit SpotAbout
This spot cooks!
Atmosphere:
The spot gets quite crowded in the summer(November-Febuary)But after that you are almost ensured of a grat surf with powerful sections to bash!
Additional Info:
First check out the spot to fully understand it!The left breaks fast and hollow and is often unmakable but when you make it you are a hero!The end section is rounder than a hula hoop and very fast.The wave also tricks sometimes into paddleing too far to the inside and often you will catch a few on the head!
