Birdrock
Edit SpotAbout
perfect
Atmosphere:
The locals aren't violent but they all seem to know eachother and one will surely be on every wave (generally same crowd as windansea) show respect and locals will start to tell you which way their going so you can have a taste. show no respect and they will go out of their way to ruin your ride.
Additional Info:
catch this spot at low tide with your shortboard. the left can be hollow. on a big day epic barrels. the right is less hollow but longer. high tide- paddle in unless you have a longboard. when its breakin' there will be perfect lefts and rights peelin' off a single epic peak.
