- this wave is super fun but only breaks once or twice a year when the swells are over eight feet. it is manily for skimming an is behind the holiday inn so sucurity is tight.

Great Whites And Orcas? - Having lived on IRB as a kid and the Bay Area all of my life, I don't recall ever seeing or worrying about great whites or Orcas in the Gulf, LOL.

Evan - This place hasn't broken over knee high since the mid-late 90s when we had that last big El Nino....
