general information

This area is home to a very heavy Pipeline like wave for experienced surfers only. It breaks over shallow reef offering a square barrel and few crowds. To the north are lesser beach breaks more suited to the novice. Around the pier is a good place to look for these where sandbanks help wave formation.

Wave length

50-100m
