Additional Information
The sand bar here is very stable. It channels swell to perfection. There's a little hill right in front of the break where you can check conditions.
Atmosphere
cold and lonely. I've never seen anyone out here.
General
very, very good wave. One of the best waves I've ever surfed. Short and sweet like Bird Rock. HOWEVER, does not work often. The sandbar is unusually close to the beach.
