general information

Goofy footers rejoice! One of the only true left handers in the area. Breaks over sandy reef that has sharpish boulders to watch out for at low tide, and is safest mid to high. The wave peels accross a rivermouth and gets heavy when it gets big. There is a short lesser qulaity right on the other side of the take off. Locals are fairly protective over this wave so tread warily, travelling gringo.
