Sucky Mamas
Edit SpotAbout
Shifty righthander that has its days.
Atmosphere:
Can have good sucky barrels that will test you.
Additional Info:
It's a geniune solid barrel from takeoff. Sucky, and really only surfable on mid to high tide. When it's big the sets can clean you up, breaking way outside and holding big sizes.
There is a second much easier and fatter section about 80m further down, which links up on good days with the outside for a longish ride. This also can have a nice sucky inside section on mid to high tides, on low tide it's too shallow.
The outside is not an easy wave, it shifts around and jacks like nobody's business. Best early morning because the strong winds create unrideable chop on the face in the afternoons.
