Sub is a rock-ledge reef break that throws both lefts and rights. It draws swell from the south through west-southwest to northwest and is usable from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 3 m / 10 ft. Look for east offshore wind to groom it, and expect the best of it around low tide, with a rising tide the better call.
