The atmosphere is good if you show respect to the locals.Don't be greedy or waste waves cause the locals won't take it.The Spot is world class..it's like J-Bay but with a Sandy bottom and hollower!!!!
Additional Info:
Park your car in the parking lot(but try and keep an eye out..crime).Be nice to the locals and show respect or else you have a long walk home.
Use the rip from the river to paddle out, but be carefull not to be sucked out to sea(Not fun paddling for 30 min against a river currant!!!).Look out for sharks!!
