  Park on the Bluffs over looking the break. Walk down the trail to the water. The walk down to the water is more dangerous than anything in the water. Lock up your valuables and don't leave anything in sight. This is a great clean wave. Kind of reminds me of steamers.
  
  

  Overview
  Atmosphere I've watched whales breach on perfect overhead days less than fifty yards from the lineup. I've heard whales under water. I've had some of the longest rides of my life. The place is beautiful.
  
  

  General
  This is a great break when it's firing. Truly world class.
