At this spot at low tide it get a little ledgy and can become shark island (but a left) instantly. I remember i cought this one wave and the bottom started to drop out and it ledged up, I hit the ledge then got sucked over and hit the reef. Ouch! Just be careful that you dont go straight, you'll definently hit the rock.
On good clean days this spot is EPIC barrels.

On Locals. By a Local. - I grew up in LJ. My parents grew up in LJ. Their parents grew up in LJ and Mission Beach. And we've been fishing and surfing these waters for the last 60 years. Even my mom surfs here when it's not too big. That's about as local as it gets. And the truth is that the biggest "local" hasslers aren't usually all that local. Usually they're just posers and arrivistes trying to front and look hard in front of their buddies. Be chilled. Show respect and surf wherever you like. But be a dick, drop in, or be a chatty irritant and get vibed/hassled as you deserve to be. That's pretty much universal and not exclusive to Big Rock or any of the reefs around Windansea.

born and raised here, walked or biked to br... - surfed it a ton 80s and 90s. but it was already plenty crowded back then. havent been back for like 15 years now. by then it was crowded even on small days and too low of tides, 7 days a week. its gotta be a major zoo now. i miss the wave, not the crowds.
