Dolphin Heads
Edit SpotAbout
great spot occasionally. waves seem to jump out of no where so its a little bit hard to get used to.
Atmosphere:
best thing to do when your there it bring some money and when your done your surf session buy a drink at the bar and relax in the spa. sometimes you get a crowd when your surfing (makes you feel pretty special.
Additional Info:
Very inconsistent when it goes of defiantly the spot to be if it goes off. but the crowds can be a bit intense and paddling out is hard because every wave has someone on it at some point so you might get run over if you don't wanna duck dive. this wave is a lot better for surfers then body boarders unless you go way deep as a body boarder because its a pretty intense take off and very very shallow.. like when you sit on your board your fins will hit the rocks..
