Additional Information
A rare big wave break that can light up in winter on big (6 foot plus) swells. Best when over 10'. An A frame peak with two way lines, the bigger the swell, the longer the wave, emphasis on the right. Packs a punch, excellent when on but rarely on fire. Maybe a couple of times a winter...sometimes not at all.
Atmosphere
A long paddle to reach the peak, break through the inside (Emma Wood) then about 10 minutes to the peak.
General
A great drop when on. Even at 8 foot the drop can still be fun...not much after that though.

Everyone - Don't come to our town. You have already ruined the rest of the coast with your million dollar condos and cliche beach vibes. Go lay your towel out in orange county cause we don't want you here.

Bring the gun - The inside is emma wood, outside is the overhead. Not to be confused and not for the faint of heart. Local
