Gets good from waist high to triple overhead. We recommend riding your longboard when smaller and your shortboard when bigger. this spot is best for intermediate and advanced surfers. The surf here is not consistent (3/10) and can get super crowded when it is working (9/10). This spot needs a massive East or Southeast swell to wrap around the point. The best winds are from the southwest. Works on all tides.
