Edit SpotAbout
There is a strong current.You must paddle every time to stay at the peak.The direction of the paddling depends on the tide.There are two peaks.One with a right which often close-ups.One other with a short but hollow left and a longer right.If the swell really goes on the two peaks connect...Very rare you need to live here.
