Additional Information

Peacefull. Can be dangerous, the hollow section breaks close to rocks, the flatter section is okay. 15min paddle to catch the wave. No surf shops, no renting areas, only a "family lik" surf school that opens only certain times of the year. Very remote area, don't get hurt the closest hospital is a 2h drive from here.

Atmosphere

Kind of secret spot, for nature worshipers only!
The locals try to keep it that way, let's respect that.

General

Fantastic place to surf and to rest.
