About

Super fun when on, dangerous to the novice as it's shallow, boats routinely run through the lineup during lulls and strong current on mid tide.

Plus side is it's an easy paddle out in the deep water next to it.

Atmosphere:
Grew up 1/2 a mile from this break. Classic twice in 12 years, rode it about 20-30 times.
Jet skiers love the place and really screw up the lineup anymore. Breaks very far off the beach and the as the wave pulls up all the rocks roll along the bottom making a weird noise. If you make the wedgy drop which is steep and fast you have lots of speed to run out on the shoulder but it hits deep water quickly so lots of cutbacks are needed.

Additional Info:
Parking is an issue as it's surrounded by condos.
Best to park in front of catholic church 4 blks away and walk to public acess by Points of America (15 min walk)

The setup: dredged rocks from inlet being cut through
reef lines. Runs straight out from beach and gets
very shallow at low tide. A swell will wrap back on
itself making a wedge about 3 times swell size.
Peaks are very very shifty, mid-tide current is
strong from water leaving inlet. Rarely breaks and rarer good and clean. Good about once every 5-10 years.
Worth checking after a hurricane when winds are offshore.
