About

Great spot can be epic.

Atmosphere:
Spot can be one of the best on the east coast when its on. Has been described as the J-Bay of the East, but this occurs very very rarely when 5 or 6 sections connect to create an unbleivable ride. Usually up to 3 sections connect and its a great wave. Shark hazard is only a precaution not talking Florida danger here. The was a shark the hung around for about 3 weeks a couple years back but that didn't stop the surfers from paddling out. The south side of the Point is a very dangerous area, as if the other side is any safer. The south side can only be surfed on really really big swells and is almost like a completly different wave. You'll probably get stink eyed by some of the locals, mainly the young groms and/or older guys.

Additional Info:
To get in the water from the parking lot you have to hike down a pretty steep cliff and negotiate your way through large boulders and rocks everywhere. Its a pretty decent paddle on a big day, at least it is if you paddle out right. Do not try to paddle out next to the point there is a "Death Zone" where you can find yourself pinned against the rocks and getting hit hard by the waves, do yourself a favor and paddle out the long way.
