Seven Palms
Edit SpotAbout
Better than average left hander.
Atmosphere:
Good left wave that picks up heaps of swell on tiny days, a real swell magnet.
Not even the boat charters use to know about it, if this place doesn't have a wave nowhere nearby will. On medium to big days (>4-5 feet) it quickly gets too big and fattens out in deep water.
Starts off with an easy takeoff and walls up down the line, often with a mid section wedgy backdoor tube that is the best part of the wave. Then continues towards the little beach up to 100-150m long on good days.
Probably best on a more west swell at 3 to 4 foot (to one and half times overhead, before it gets too fat in deep water) and mid tides, but it will break on anything small. Also some protection from SE trades.
Better than average, it's really rippable and has several interesting sections.
Additional Info:
Around south from Scarecrows 5 minutes by boat.
