About

I think this spot goes off when it actrually breaks but be warned ive only seen it good 2 times this year

Atmosphere:
This spot is awsome if you want all the waves to urself and a bloody sick ride if u

Additional Info:
You better be carefull on this break because we it gets big it pumps but the bottom is quite shallow and you could be washed into some massive rocks
