Skill Level
- •Who it's for: Intermediate (longboard) / Intermediate–Advanced (shortboard)
- •Why: The wave is gentle and long, perfect for flow surfing, but shortboarders need to generate their own speed.
Hazards
- •Rocky entry and exit over slippery black rocks
- •Strong current on bigger swells that pulls you down the point
- •Rocky inside section at low tide
Local Tips
- •A longboard or mid-length is the ideal craft, you'll get double the rides of a shortboarder.
- •Stay higher on the wave in the early sections to avoid getting caught inside by the next set.
