general information

When a solid 8-10ft clean swell arrives from the south or southwest those with the biggest set of kahunas head to Caves, an awesome all time classic righthand reef breaking close to a deep and sharky channel. It breaks over a shallow and sharp slab reef ledge and delivers a square jawed barrel capable of reducing a grown man to tears. Needless to say, advanced surfers only and definatly no barrel dodgers.
