Long paddle from shore. Hard to stay in spot due to currents. Needs a decent size swell as well, usually when Supersuck is cranking. Higher tides (not sure about low tide here).
The peak has a longish left with a workable wall and the odd barrel. The right is shorter but more punchy. The best swell time is June-Sept however onshores will kick n around 10:00 ish. March -April time has less swell however the winds are favorable.
Only surfed it once and it was too big and washes out at 8-12 foot faces, so needs to be only about 4 to 8 foot faces max. There was also a wicked current sweep to the north with a very heavy dumping beachbreak at this size, making it hard to get in.
Surf then on smallish to medium days, and with more south in the swell it lines up better. Trade SE wind gets into it a little bit as well, so morning is better. It's pretty empty and isolated.
Breaks over about 100m or more, about 200m out from the shoreline, and dies out in deep water. Doesnt handle big sizes, or seem to barrel when I was there. Average.

It's a geniune solid barrel from takeoff. Sucky, and really only surfable on mid to high tide. When it's big the sets can clean you up, breaking way outside and holding big sizes.
There is a second much easier and fatter section about 80m further down, which links up on good days with the outside for a longish ride. This also can have a nice sucky inside section on mid to high tides, on low tide it's too shallow.
The outside is not an easy wave, it shifts around and jacks like nobody's business. Best early morning because the strong winds create unrideable chop on the face in the afternoons.
