Additional Information

Photos Coming soon, This is an awesome spot on its day, can be hard to paddle out, especially in the winter wen its ice cold and huge

Atmosphere

wen your out there on a summers day, with the sun beaming in the nice clear blue water at this break, no matter how small or big it is, it makes you think how beautiful it really is!

General

(not sure if i got the temperatures right) Not a bad spot if you got no where else to go, very very ice cold in the winter, nice and refreshing in the summer, not very consistant, but on its day and can be very good here
