    Jack Lost from Australia
    “Very under rated surf spot. Super fun ripable left hander with a heavier right hander on the outside reef. Tends to be more crowded when the surf is small. When it gives over 4-5 foot the rip is horrific which keeps the crowds away. Best a couple of hours before and after high tide. Goofys get some little barrels on the boat ramp and mid section. Most reliable in winter and spring. Not unusual to get it on for 4-5 days in a row. Only a 45 minute drive from Launi which makes it convenient for Launi people. Love the spot”
