gets heavy - auggies at DOH sets up a heavy bowl and makes for a screaming takeoff. Rewarding if you make it, but the urchin-covered reef will let you know if you blow it.

pic inaccurate - the pic is actually of Big Drakes.Augies is further up,a couple rt. reefs next to small headland,not a real pt.I'm a rancher.Augies is a good option for boaters,its a decent wave and usually no one on it.

Auggies: the truth - auggies = soggies. i grew up sponging here then switched to surfing, we learned at auggies. the wave is garbage 9 time out of 10. It will normally break real quick then back off in a deepwater channel leaving u confused. but if u wanna surf auggies good luck, more power to u.
