    “Two surf spots the bigger channel to the east has waves most of the year. Flat in late summer.N or NE best.Closes out at 5-8 ft, but the inside left can be ridden almost any size or condition, 1-3 ft. The bay to the west is the real wave. NW,N best 2-4 juicy Rights going into a close out section then you go left on the semi hollow inside.Gets too big fast and can be dangerous due to shallow reef and rocks.5-8 + shoot the point all the way to the bathrooms. Good luck”
