I doubt it.
It is nowhere near Gero, and to sail it would require 3m+ swell and a weird wind direction ... a combo of conditions that never occurs where it is.... well, maybe once a year.

But yes, having been out there and reccy'd it with a view to sailing it, I can tell you it is the nastiest wave I've ever seen. I have seen the lip project further forward than the wave is high.....like an oval, and suck a waist deep pit in front of it (like, the pit is 1m lower than the water level is 3m in front of the wave). The lip, which is horizontal as it tubes, can be up to 2ft thick. No wonder it breaks bodyboarder's spines in half.

My Favourite fat lip pic:
