- Whoever wrote the description for the wedge is hell wrong, the wedge is always packed with locals especially during summer and can be hard to get a wave, in winter it can get massive and its not rare to see pros out, ive seen kim feast out numerous times. For the wedge to be uncrowded it has to be small swell with no wind at all

Sloppy and crowded - Surfed this the other day. Banks aren't even working and there is already 20+ people out here.. will get even worse over summer with all the frothing groms over this joint. Don't bother with it. Much better breaks a short drive away.
