Fun moody left with multiple take-off zones. Has become ultra crowded with the onslaught of surfers from the college above and increasing numbers of people chasing internet swells. Way too many guys and locals not yet ready to give it all up makes for some pretty high tension surfs. Too bad....Watch out for older, less skilled surfers trying to rule the peak with big boards and even bigger attitudes. Barrels are pretty rare especially for new comers but if u like hitting the lip 4 or 5 times a wave and huge roundhouses(on the best days of cours) then it's worth a look.
Overview
Atmosphere
Paddling out at low tide with some real swell is pretty sweet. Keep moving and know your line-ups, takeoff changes with swell and tide and what is perfect on mid tide may be an unmakeable section at low tide. Also if it's packed theres waves across the channel on both sides so don't just sit and steam.

I was one of those two guys out at Ab that Wednesday. FYI there WERE 12-15' faces at best, AND it was closing out. Only the smaller (8-10') waves were lining up.
See you out there

Hmmm
There was 2 guys out at Abs on Dec. 5th 2007. Waves were 12-15 foot faces with some pluses and cleaned up mid-morning/early afternoon. Where were all these locals?
