General Description
A consistent reef break accessable by boat from the surrounding resorts. Best surfed first thing in the morning on a south or south west swell. This wave can get big and is a classic when the conditions are right - it provides long, fast barreling waves.
The water is super clear and it is a real experience to see the colourful coral shooting past as you surf along this wave.
