I use to surf 7'2"s in that sort of thing, but now would be looking for my 8'0". And the 9'6" longboard gun I am planning is aimed at precisely that sort of thing and a little bigger.
There is a half decent channel for paddling out, but the current drags you north so you are heading into the middle of the peak. If you don't get out the back it is quite possible to get a long, drawn out wash through to either be spat out on the left, or, more likely, washed into the inside ledge where you have to walk back out to the jump off.
There's a shelf in front of the jump off that can close out when it's solid. My best effort was five wash throughs before giving up trying to get out. The worst thing about that day was a mate slid out pretty easily in front of me and was catching waves while I was getting belted.
This is the jump off from a different angle on a a day not much smaller than the photo despite this pic making it look significantly smaller. Check out the guy taking off on the left in the background. He gives the real size. Only ten or so of us hit it this morning. This was during one of the Margies Masters swells.
But to be honest its on the other side of my comfort zone. If that was the biggest wave of day perhaps and I mean perhaps - lots of things would need to be going well for me - but if that was just the sets then probably not !
,was very happy with where i surfed
