Left handers. must be a experienced surfer to surf here. can get big, and can get good shape. It's a sucking take-off over a shallow ledge. You are straight in the barrel or you are on the beautiful coral... Best surfer at mid tide with a solid swell when the take off links up the inside reform. Best wind: N-NE wind. its a good spot for the body boarders, but its also great for surfers.
Overview
Atmosphere
its good. god cliffs above it. it has a real surf spot setting. It 's a great place for diving.Chickens can get really crowded during the holidays as you can see it from the bus stop, normally lots of people get of and surf so it can get crowded. on uncroweded days it is a nice left which normally breaks in one spot and peels off. Sometimes it barrels nicley. The end has a nice air section but it's onto bare sharp reef so try to resiste the urge.
General
yeh its great. only if u know how to surf or bodyboard.
RE: Is there any beach
Theres a rock jump of the rock ledge to the right then paddle back in through the middle or out in the channel to get back in. Its a close break so you'll figure it out :)
