About this spot

About

This spot tends to perform when NW swell energy is present, producing peeling waves that hold shape. Riders report that the ride length can be long, with sections that may travel across a mix of rocky and sandy bottom areas. The exposure also means conditions can change quickly, and on larger sets the spot can develop strong currents.

  • Long, peeling right-hand point break (works best on NW swell)
  • South winds can act offshore for cleaner surf
  • Remote, off-the-beaten-path setting
