Additional Surfing Infos |
| | There are three faces to this spot: The Jetty, 1st Peak, and Middles. The Jetty is a sick, shallow left-handed barrel when conditions are right. 1st Peak offers up longer lefts with hollow inside sections, and a wedging right-hander with lots of air potential. Middles is a peak, with waves breaking either way depending on the swell direction.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
SPONGERS ONLY!!! Localism is VERY heavy here...there isn't a lot of respect, even between seasoned locals. Don't even try to ride the left at the jetty unless you grew up here. 1st Peak and Middles aren't as bad, but get really crowded due to the jetty localism. Show up early if you want any waves to yourself, otherwise plan on locals and kooks alike dropping in on you. |
| |
General |
Great when it's the right combo of swell, wind, tide and crowd, otherwise not really worth the hassle. |
