The local resort will transport you out there by boat and drop you there for 2 hours for $20. Depending on the swell direction the wave wraps around the reef creating a hollow takeoff, with a few sections before closing out on dry reef. Its predominantly a right but the left opens up from the take off and is very fast and short before it closes out. Its very easy to get caught by the sets as the water moving around the reef pushes you in around alot.
