The Bend
Edit SpotAbout
Does break often but a lot of people go down to surf later in the day when the winds up which makes it pathetic. So go early when its good conditions.
Atmosphere:
Your brains goin so fast you can't think of an atmosphere. When there's swell it keeps comin, very consistent when there's swell.
Additional Info:
Good break when the wind, tides and swell are all perfect. When it's about 3-4 foot it's more of a boogers wave, but when the swell is a decent size get the stand up out cause it gets pretty snazzy. Stand up barrels everywhere.
