general information

Lack of outer sand banks makes this break more of an any tide shorebreak where zippy rides roll up or down the beach depending on whether the swell is more north or south, so it can be either rights or lefts. It can get crowded in the summertime and during this period the is a ban on surfing too close to the pier to keep the fisherman happy.
