Deer Creek
Edit SpotAbout
Great spot if you catch it. The kelp can make for super glassy conditions and the inconsistancy of the place will allow you to usually get it empty when its breaking.
Atmosphere:
This spot can be an epic day for a solo session or a couple of freinds if you catch it on the right conditions. If there are three or more out already, come back on another day. One take off zone only.
Additional Info:
Usually best on a west or n.west swell, on the upcoming tide, low to medium. This wave sucks out off of a reef/rock and can get quite good.Take off on the shoulder near the boil going right.
