Archies
Edit SpotAbout
A good spot and it usually cooks up a mean shore break good for lids and body surfing.
Atmosphere:
Very fun swell in most size, heavy localism by teens, if there is a wave there will be locals out. If you drop in don't expect to get any remorse.
Additional Info:
When its breaking well it is usually consistent all along the beach especially when it starts slabbing. Depending on the wind and tide you can usually get a fun wave over at Karchies,
