Madaket
Edit SpotAbout
This is a great spot that you should check out next hurricane swell. There is not much around so I would bring something to drink and eat to save a trip back to town. the only danger is the rip which gets very strong. If the conditions are right it can produce some amazing waves.
Additional Info:
The spot is pretty much stright foward. People dont usually surf here unless the waves get pretty big and the other spots on the island start to close out. Be carefull to watch out for the rip it can get very strong.
