Black Rock
Edit SpotAbout
Gets a lot of swell. Fun peaks. Not surfed that often. Barrels to yourself.
Depending on the swell size and direction, it can look like Pipeline, Indo or your crappy beach break.
Atmosphere:
Its very empty.... Hardly and people except for some fisherman around the spot.
Not crowds at all. The waves will be for yourself.
Additional Info:
paddle in quickly while its flat until you get to the reef other wise you will get pulled out by the wave.
Make sure to go with a couple of surfers.
