Description

Very good reef/pointbreak that breaks both ways, depending on the swell. A unique kind of setup, it breaks in front of a headland, with a reef/point wave peeling off either side of the headland after the takeoff area. The left is harder to get back out though if it is big, apparently. Good quality hollow waves, which can barrel, but mostly just big powerful drops wih workable walls, it picks up heaps of swell and is always bigger than everywhere else nearby. Handles from 3 to 12 feet, I´m told it doesn't hold more.
