Gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a shortboard or step-up as the size picks up. This break is good for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here does not break very often (3/10) and will be uncrowded (2/10)/ The best winds are from the East. The best swells are from the Southwest. Works on all tides.
