About

Ok, first off this spot almost NEVER breaks, but when it does, it can be completely epic. The wave starts off mushy on this little outer reef thing but as soon as it hits these rocks nearshore it just turns ballistically hollow. 10-15 second rides are the norm. Can be really fun and rippable on wind swells as well. HIGH TIDE ONLY! I have walked down here on a dead low tide just to see what the reef is like and it is pretty much a beach break on low tide... The reef consists of a bunch of huge flat rocks with large, deep, sand filled cracks in-between them, but small enough to not effect the wave quality. Starts maxing out after 10 foot (Closes out with nearby beach break). The higher the tide, the better... a pretty epic spot sometimes although not world class. The rocks are also a HUGE problem... this spot breaks really close to shore and in about knee-waist deep water. Injuries are common.

Additional Info:
Pretty crazy spot when its on, huge gaping barrels run down this solid rock reef... it can get pretty gnarly.

Access

Easy access, walk through the More Mesa Bluff trails until coming down to the beach where you can then walk north until you come to a rocky outcrop that you will see waves peeling off of. On steep NW swells this place can get EPIC.
