8th street
Edit SpotAbout
This spot is not as popular as some of the other local spots because it is much heavier when it is 3 feet or above.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere is primitive. Locals use the beach to wash, clean and relieve themselves. A crowd of locals will watch you and cheer you on, carry your board and equipement...
Additional Info:
Don't hesitate - just drop in and charge. When there is a bit of swell, this beach break is really fun. A sand bar sits at the end of 8th street, creating some fun rights and lefts - the lefts can be very hollow and fast.
