This break is no place for biginers, with a steep take off and a hollow barell. Most people that surf this break are insane or just plain cool.
Atmosphere
This spot can provide some good fun if your insane due to the fact it breaks about 30 meters in front of rocks.But when it dose work it peels all the way past cove almost all the way to peak.
General
great break when it works give it a try.

off rocks - off rocks pumps with solid point style . Here the crowds are not too bad although the water can be very cold so take care . Time your entry to water because the backwash can take you out too far and very hard to paddle back . I suggest you take some friends because of punishing wipeouts and may need some assistance . you must get to feet very qvick because this is a tubular wave and can offer possibility to do shacking on inside .
