About

A fast powerful and walling wave that sections all the way... You can get tubed, smash the lip, float, cutback... This wave has it all. Surfs better with a longer board... Not as thick as thunders, but
Still quite powerful with pretty critical takeoffs... Can get very shallow.

Atmosphere:
Very exposed to ocean swells, thus fickle and can make the swell lumpy when it jacks over the reef... Although with the right wind, tides, etc... Can be magic... Seemingly a very consistent locations due to the fact that it catches a lot of swell... (more so than telescopes)... During the peak season (if the wind patterns permitted) the place could be surfed almost every day.

Additional Info:
Take off deep with a longer board... 6ft 9 and over (even at 5ft)... It's a fast wave that sections; therefore the length of rail and planshape comes in handy... Dont wipeout on low tide!!!
