Periscope Point
Edit SpotAbout
If you catch it when it's good it's one of the funnest rights you'll ever surf. Be ready for long paddles back out.
Atmosphere:
Usually less crowded than other spots in the area due to long walk and the fact that it is a very fickle wave. Hard to get it good but when it's on it is possible to get 3 or 4 barrels on a wave and several good turns in between.
Additional Info:
Best in early morning before the wind is on it with a rising tide. Not surfable at low tide due to extreme tidal changes in this region.
