Boa
Edit SpotAbout
Awesome on its day, but a little wonky and doesn't always line up properly. Doesn't like trade winds or very high or very low tide.
Atmosphere:
It's a good right hander, but most would say only rarely world class. Breaks about 100-150m long, although on really big days it can get longer- up to 250m or so, right into the little bay.
At its best, might be a big SW-WSW swell, on low to mid tide coming in, and an offshore north wind (off season). Holds at least 2-3 times overhead, when it gets quite heavy. It can also be ridden at only chest high.
Sets can swing wide, but getting caught inside isnt too bad. Barrels near takeoff on good days, and can also barrel anywhere down the line, but sometimes closes out. Long paddles, but not too bad.
Additional Info:
Good right hand wave that picks up swell, usually just a little smaller than T Land. Best at mid tides, high tide a bit too fat and low tide a bit too shallow, but ok at low to mid. Trade winds muck it up by about 9am, so best early morning or off season.
