When
everywhere else is flat you can still
get a wave at this super consistent
and exposed island. And when there is
a decent swell running Thunders starts
thundering.
This wave handles almost any swell. It
can deliver round reef hugging barrels
at mid to pushing tide when the swell
is head high to overhead and it has a
separate wide peak which splits the
pack and offers a great cutback wall
and fast but shallow inside section.
But when there is swell Thunders gets
big with a lot of water moving around
and 12-15 foot sets intent on throwing
you like a rag doll into the palm
trees. Bigger boards are required with
giant A-frame peaks rolling through.
Sometimes the peak is nothing more
than a huge drop, but once you get to
know the wave there are some
outrageous back door barrels to be
had.
