About

good beach break for stand ups and bodyboarders which can handle a prtty big swell.

Atmosphere:
Good atmosphere. in the summer it can get overrun by emmets but i jst run em over. in the winter it feels a bit empty but the us locals r all pretty freindly.

Additional Info:
try the far left corner next to the cliff at low tide. it produces some nice wedges with quite a bit of side wash. Low tide is a heavyer shorebreak with some barrels to be had. Higher tide gives long mellow rides with not too much power. on a big offshore day at low tide u have the choice of a bigger melower outside break or the heavey closing out shorebreak.
