Acid Drop surf guide

Surf: Acid Drop is an aptly named right that jacks severely and throws a short, throaty barrel before shutting down over the coral heads on the inside. Requires respect and queuing along with plenty of skill to make the drop. Holds size in any S swell. Even scarier are the death pits 200m west at Heroins, for pros only. Nearby Kukuiula Harbour and Allertons offer some reef and beachbreak possibilities without too much crowd pressure. Environment: Inconsistent and relatively short tidal window.
