The Groin
Edit SpotAbout
If you see this spot 8 foot on low tide...
which happens very rarely...
you will come back waiting for it to be like that again.
Atmosphere:
I love this spot...
It's in a bay and blocked from the strong winds..
I've got my first barrel here and landed my first el rollo here....
Beware the rockwall, when it's low tide you take off from the other side.....towards main beach and surf the wave across going right and you pass the rockwall 'beware I have gone head first 5 foot on here'...
Additional Info:
The groin is a sucky right hander on low tide...
it can get absolutely crazy when over 6 foot and on low tide.

You have to take off to the left of the rocks if you want to get a good ride in.
