“Spot is really nice if the conditions are good. localism can be hard if you are being a ignorant or aggressive surfer can often result in being kicked out not being able to surf the peak. Can get heavy when big with quit shallow especially when going left which is not recommend when it is not big since it goes on almost dry reef unless when it is big it is indeed possible to go left. Easy to get food and water during breaks and close by to 8 other surf spots”
