Hazards

  • Sweeping currents: come back in through the "keyhole", or the small urchin-free sandy patch by the wall.Surfline
  • Urchins, rips and rocks.surf-forecast.com; wannasurf.com

What the guides say

  • A steamrolling right reef when it is big, small bowly peaks when it is small; it holds dozens of surfers. Reached past the airport runway and the golf course.Surfline
