	Additional Surfing Infos
	A few different peaks here. Not the best wave around but works often. On bigger swell there is a righthand reef break on the northern side though never surfed it and dont know if anyone has. VERY SHARKY. Fisherman have pulled many big fish from around here. There are better spots within closish driving distance.
	Overview
	Atmosphere	Gets o.k when on glassy mornings. Wind often messes it up but it can get pretty good. A few short barrels to be had.
	General	Upside: Noone around and surf community is around 0. Downside: Wind and lots of sharks. Be careful and watch out for them if comming here.
