Zippers
Edit SpotAbout
Used to be a fun wave. With the dramatic drop in quality and the ever increasing crowd pressure, I would pass unless you want to practice your 1 on 20 fighting skills.
Atmosphere:
Very intense localism. The gang mentality is alive and well. If you enjoy riding behind someone who has all the style of a Rhesus monkey on crack, this is the spot for you. If you complain, the trouble starts and it can get ugly.
Additional Info:
Wave quality suffered substantialy after Hurricane Julliete. Sand from arroyo flow covered reef. Little more than a glorified close-out. With the elimination of El Tule and very few spots in the area, it gets crowded quick. If you expect this wave to work at 6 foot forget it!! Gunna needs to be 8-10 closing out before this place even starts to break properly. I have surfed it oon huge swells at 8-10 foot and believe me its a wave for the brave. Awesome water movements and dropps that take your breth away. Thsoe that posted here at only 6foot and bag the wave have not surfed it in the right conditions. Its a big wave reef/bay and needs huge swells. other wise go surf Port phillip bay and bag that!
