Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Surf is usually better in the morning and then starts dying a little. Better for longboarding. The jetty is better sometimes.
|

Overview |

Atmosphere |
A lot of people go to start learning. Sometimes people get in the way. Lots of longboarders on weekends. Less people in the morning. |

General |
Its ok. It usually closes out by the beach. The river holds up longer. Go have fun. Learn. Whatever. |
