Gets good from waist-high to double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard here if smaller and a shortboard when the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here does not break often (3/10) and will be very crowded when it does (8/10). The best winds are from the Northeast. The best swells are from the South, Southeast, Southwest, and West.
