General Description
Perfect spot for learning how to ride waves on a SUP from 1 to 5 feet. The wave is too fat and breaks too far away to be a desirable surf spot for longboards and shortboards. From 5 to 10 feet, the wave is an option for intermediate SUPs and longboards. Ideal tide is medium to high tide
