Big N swells break point-style off the south side of Hillsboro Inlet, with sandbars running in a fashion similar to Reef Road. When conditions align (rare), the place gets hollow. Needs a legitimately big swell to turn on, making it one of the most inconsistent breaks in the region, but when it works it offers some of the better-shaped waves in Broward County.
