Informations supplémentaires
This spot generally only works during large winter storms that produce enough swell to rap into the sheltered northerly facing bay (rarely works on large ground-swells). The bonus of the situation is that the predominate SW winds produced by these storms means that this place is generally offshore when breaking. In these conditions head down here at mid-tide on a falling tide. Access into the water is through a small gully below the carpark, the paddle out is easy as a rip runs parallel to the point straight through the take-off zone. The waves only starts to break at around the 5ft mark alongside a group of rocks that become dry as the tide drops. Take-off can be hairy as the wave jacks-up surprising quickly, if you are not committed when big you will very much regret it!! The initial section consists of a powerful and hollow wall that allows the opportunity for a couple of decent moves before the waves then starts to slow and flatten out as it breaks further out into the channel. It's an idea to keep a constant eye on the outside as sets are often masked by the rocks around the headland and can sneak in quickly, you do not want to be on the inside when a big set rolls in!! Generally best for a couple of hours after mid-tide, the wave becomes inconsistant and shallow on the inside at low tide.

Général
Local opinion on this spot is mixed, some believe it is over-rating and just basically a heavy drop. Others, including myself, are of the opinion that when firing this spot can be epic and provides a unique opportunity to experience waves with power rarely found on Guernsey. Unfortunately these days only occur a few times year!
