Atmosphere

This wave barreling as wide as it is high onto inches of water over the cunji covered reef is a rare phenomenon only the dedicated have experienced. When its breaking properly it really can be a gnarly wave. The rest of the time it is an average point break.

General

A great wave for the experienced when its pumping but doesn't turn on too often. Unless your checking it all the time the chances of scoring this wave at its full potential are low.
