general information

Powerful left and rights breaking over rocky reef. A few breaks here, including a main peak, a right off the lighthouse and a bigger wave break out the back. A large winter north swell with south winds and it can be produce classic uncrowded barrels.

Though be wary, it gets heavy when it gets big. Requires a bit of a trek to get to and is valued by its locals.
