Great surfing but can get busy. Parking lot gets pretty full on the weekends or when the waves are great. Just take note, that you’ll be surfing with the men in little gray suits. Most of them are juveniles and like the warm water. General rule of thumb is they’ll pretty much leave you alone, if you leave them alone.🦈
