- Rips / undertow

Additional Information
Very cruisy right hand wall, with some hollow sections.A good alternative when w/nw wind, good swell and too crowded around bell's/cathedral area
Atmosphere
right on ocean road, tree covered hills down to water...Best in the autumn/winter with the westerlies, rarely crowded, often only 2 or 3 people. Very pretty place, lots of wildlife, including the rare, but scary, white shark.i've had some memorable surfs here.
General
not a classic, but a good cruisy wave. beware the reef, take-off right in front of rocks.

soft and fat - not only are the people who surf it soft and fat, so is the wave.
