good
Atmosphere:
one of the funnest sand breaks on the coast on a good day
Additional Info:
fun wave for all surfers, if you get stuck in the break zone, just paddle in and back out through the river mouth. it does get sucky in the corner and it sometimes fires off some heavy barels so don't get caught on the inside
