Wave breaks right in front of a large cliff face and can cause backwash on some days to affect the wave. Jump off cliff to right of break to get out and good luck getting in as its not easy. Take off is very ledgy then open racy barrel which is super heavy and can angle in a bit before spitting violently. If you dont make the wave you might be in a lot of trouble, you'd hate to be pressed up against the rocks.
Atmosphere
Very heavy wave best left to those with extreme talent or death wish. The cliff makes this wave especially intimidating, more so than any other break on the southside. When the 'bra boys' are out there (usually when its good) dont even bother going out, just watch and admire.
General
Awesome, breathtaking and mesmerising.
