general information

Popular beach break on the northwest coast, good for all levels of surfers. It's exposed to most swell and so should always have something, the problem here and for most of this facing coast is the wind, which will be cross to onshore most of the time in the dry season. Get up early and hope for some early glass here. Watch for rocks on the bottom. A local surf shop (Tribal Surf) is located here, just a block back from the beach towards the eastern end.
