Big Eds

About

Very nice break during the winter when a nice North swell hits. A very long right break, nice ride, good barrels , can be very glassy in the mornings, but wild and choppy usually. Sometimes the waves will hit the wall on the right side and mutate to form a sick side wave, very fun.

Attention! This spot is named Big Eds for a reason. There is a massive 14-16 foot hammerhead shark that has been seen here very often by alot of local surfers here. Most locals who have seen it have never been bothered by it, they just bring their feet up out of the water and try to respect Big Ed and he seems to leave you alone. Better have huge balls to try this spot brah. Shoots!
