Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Good luck finding a spot, especially in the summer when the inland invasion begins. Early morning sessions are best for parking, beating the crowds and the onshore winds. Easy wave when it's small. Experience needed when it's pumping.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Very fun wave, one of the best spots in Newport on a good day. Localism isn't too bad. Just abide by the normal surfing etiquette and don't cut anyone off. |
| |
General |
When it's good-powerful, hollow, and peaky. Awesome spot. |

Today was the first day since January 5 that there were surfable waves. Really hollow and fun if u can utilize a long board. Really stoked about the upcoming swell.
