Hazards

Sea Lice in front of the river moth. Got itchy there; so i went to the pharmacy just to be carefull. Got sea lice once in Costa Rica and kind of seemed likr the same thing. I think it's a warm temp water thing. 

Description

It's a fun beach break when it's big enough to break and not to big to make it close out. So it needs to be a swell from about 2-5ft faces. There's a river opening so i'd compare it to surfing somewhere like Blackie's in NewPort Beach Ca. Sometimes you get fast down-the-line waves with a close-out section and sometimes shoulders you can get a snap or two in. Really needs to be about 3ft faces for it to start being fun. The water is really warm and doesn't do anything for a hang-over. Bring water to the beach with you and rash-guard for sun protection. The biggest time of year is between Jun-Aug; but the only time they don't have any wave is from Nov-Feb. Was also told that they get some swells in Dec. sometimes Although i was there last Jan and saw more surf in the China Sea then.
