A good option when everywhere else is out of control, or all the good spots that handle south winds and swell are packed like sardines. Can offer some good lefts behind the pool and longer, but dare I say it, softer rights, breaking into the cove. Very susceptible to tide changes and can be a frustrating high tide option. Noticed a plague of long boarders on the last visit. Haven't surfed here for 12 year, but still remember some nice snappy waves on an out-of-control day.
Used to be a bit smelly. Hopefully things have changed? -
