Robert Moses (democrat point)
Edit SpotAbout
its great the only trouble is it accesibilty
TURNS ON during mid period overhead SE/SSE Hurricane swells with offshore winds, no better place to be, back of point rarly closes out also.
Atmosphere:
i find that when your getting weak swells at field 5 and field 4 demon break is usually a good bet for some fun waves and when the swells are good at field 5 and field 4 the waves are exceptional at demon break
Its a little creepy surfing the place alone on a big winter swell, great place but know your limits, if you're experienced in bigger swells a dont even attempt to surf it on a big swell because you will take a beating, ive taken 2-3 wave holddowns on big days.
Also at really low tide and a decent swell the wave gets really hollow but breaks in super swallow water, great time to get barrels but also an easy way to get hurt or eat a facefull of sand.
Additional Info:
always cut left otherwise you risk crashing on the rocks
Tide really makes this a tough place to surf, outgoing tide creates massive and strong rip that keep you constantly paddling, while incoming tides continually push you towrds the impact zone, not a good place to get caught inside on a big day, very hard go get back out if you get stuck in the impact zone. Best bet on a epic big day is to walk back down the point and hop into the channel/rip which will carry you back to the takeoff zone for another epic ride.
If you catch Demo on a classic day you can compare it to any world class point break, but those day only occur a few days a year.
